Robert Williams hasn't been on the ball with his timeliness since being drafted 27th overall by the Boston Celtics, having missed both his introductory conference call and a flight which made him absent for his first summer league practice.

In an effort to prevent more lateness, Williams has found living arrangements right next to the Celtics' new practice facility so that he'll have little excuse for not being on time.

"Two-minute walk," said a laughing Williams on Sunday, according to ESPN's Chris Forsberg. "Can't be late!"

Williams, who has also lost his wallet on multiple occasions since the draft, is dealing with an artery condition in both of his legs that's reportedly "not too serious."

He scored four points and grabbed two rebounds in seven minutes of action during his lone summer league appearance, as well.
