It sounds like legendary broadcaster Dick Vitale is not happy with Celtics first-round pick Robert Williams.

The recent draftee slipped to No. 26 in part because of maturity concerns, and then he justified those concerns by missing a flight that was supposed to bring him to Celtics Summer League practice on Sunday.

Vitale, the Hall of Fame broadcaster, did not care for Williams' shenanigans and made his distate known on Twitter.
