Williams Returns to Anchor Blazers Defense | NBA News
Description
Portland’s offseason buzz isn’t just about flashy moves—Robert Williams III, the “Time Lord,” is back on a three-year, $43.5M deal, quietly becoming the cornerstone of their depth. After bouncing back from injury with 59 games last season and averaging 7 points, 7 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks, he’s a defensive anchor off the bench. With Donovan Clingan starting and Yang Hansen drafted, Portland chose loyalty over youth, betting on Williams’ rim protection to force shots from the perimeter. Under new coach Micah Nori—a defensive guru—Williams could evolve even further, making this a smart, calculated gamble that could define their season.
