Robert Williams III finished with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks, and two steals in Wednesday's 132-119 win over the Suns.
Fantasy Impact
Williams doesn't need a ton of minutes to deliver solid stat lines, as he put up this across-the-board production in less than 16 minutes. The veteran big is a valuable depth piece in standard fantasy formats, averaging 7.2 points, 7.2 boards, and 1.2 blocks with a 61.3 FG% through six games.
Robert Williams III (knee) is unlikely to play Thursday night against the Grizzlies.
Fantasy Impact
Williams has had a strong start to the season in his bench role for the Blazers, averaging 9.7 points and 8.7 rebounds in 18 minutes per game so far. It looks like he will take a seat Thursday, however, as he's managing a knee issue. Yang Hansen could see a bit more court time.
Robert Williams III has agreed to a 3-year, $44 million deal with the Portland Trailblazers.
Fantasy Impact
Time Lord will return to a Blazers team that recently added Ja Morant and should get Damian Lillard back this upcoming season. Portland isn’t quite among the top of the Western Conference, but with their youth, potential stars, and veteran playmakers, they appear to be on an upward trajectory.
The Celtics are expected to show interest in Robert Williams III.
Fantasy Impact
Williams appeared in 59 games last season with Portland. He would figure to step into a reserve role wherever he lands.
