As long as he can stay healthy, the Blazers big man will definitely be the league s top big man?

In a previous NBA Cup game, the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Golden State Warriors at home 127-123 after a hard-fought battle. After this game, the Trail Blazers, who had ended their three-game losing streak, improved their record to 7-9, and continued to rank 9th in the Western Conference, with only one game left behind the Warriors. The Warriors, who had suffered two consecutive losses, dropped to 9-9, and continued to rank 8th in the Western Conference.

In this game, the performance of the Trail Blazers' substitute inside goalkeeper Robert Williams was impressive. Williams played 20 minutes and 31 seconds, making 4 of 6 shots and 0 of 1 from beyond the three-point line. He scored 8 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, including 3 offensive rebounds, 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-minus of +4. Williams had limited possession of the ball on the offensive end, but he still scored some points. He also grabbed a lot of offensive rebounds and created some threats to his opponents. The most important thing is that Williams' performance on the defensive end is really outstanding. He has shown super strong defense ability. The opponent has no way to attack the inside line he guards, and he also has a certain ability to protect the frame. Overall, Williams showed a high level on both offense and defense, and he even performed at the top level on the defensive end, which was also a key factor in the team's final victory.

In the NBA regular season last season, Williams was affected by injuries in 82 games and only played 20 times in total, averaging 17.6 minutes per game. According to statistics, he had 5.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.6 blocks, 0.8 turnovers and 1.6 fouls, shooting 64.1% from the field, 33.3% from the three-point range, and 88.2% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Williams has played a total of 10 times in the first 16 games due to administrative restrictions, averaging 12.8 minutes per game, averaging 4.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game. He also had 0.4 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. He shot 64.7% from the field, 25% from the three-point range, and 0% from the free throw line.

Williams played only 61 games in the previous three seasons combined. He has only played 36 games so far after joining the Trail Blazers. His injury risks are very serious, which has also seriously affected his playing time and his role in the team. However, judging from the situation of this game, Williams' ability is actually very good, especially on the defensive end, he can play a decisive role. If he stays healthy, he will definitely be the type of player that any team desperately needs. But we don't know whether Williams can continue to maintain such a healthy momentum.
