Williams sleeps through conference call with Celtics, but is excited to join organization

The 27th overall pick in Thursday's night's NBA draft got to celebrate with family and friends near his hometown in Shreveport, Louisiana. But, Williams must quickly realize he's a professional now.

Willie Nelson's song, "Turn out the Lights, the Party's Over" currently applies to Texas A&M product Robert Williams.

The 27th overall pick in Thursday's night's NBA draft got to celebrate with family and friends near his
hometown in Shreveport, Louisiana. But, Williams must quickly realize he's a professional now.

The former Aggies big man overslept Friday morning, and missed his introductory conference call with the Boston Celtics. The organization did defend Williams though and said miscommunication also played a factor.

Williams is the first player from Texas A&M to be taken in the first round of the NBA draft since 2007,
although he did come off the board later than expected.

The two-time SEC defensive player of the year will be formally introduced in Boston next Friday, and he's ready to join the Celtics who made the Eastern Conference finals this year.
