The Boston Celtics may have found their replacement for impending restricted free agent Grant Williams on the first day of the 2023 NBA free agency period with the signing of former Indiana Pacers wing Oshae Brissett — this, at least, according to MassLive’s Brian Robb in the aftermath of the C’s first follow-up move to the Marcus Smart-for-Kristaps Porzingis trade.
“Brissett is still just 25 years old and has shown enough promise in Indiana to be a useful depth piece for certain matchups,” Robb prefaced before saying, “He is also conceivably a very low-cost Grant Williams replacement (and a far worse shooter) if the team loses him via free agency or a sign-and-trade.
