CelticsBlog roundtable: how will Grant Williams’ absence impact Boston’s depth?

Jack Simone: By the end of his tenure with the Celtics, it felt as though an overwhelming number of fans were against Grant Williams. And since he left, the mindset has been that it’s for the better and Boston’s free agency additions can easily replace him. That’s not the case. There is no replacing a 40% three-point shooter who can defend wings and bigs. The Celtics didn’t sign that type of player and there simply aren’t many players like that in the NBA. Instead, Boston will have to deploy wings based on what they need. Hauser or Mykhailiuk for shooting.
