Grant Williams got the memo.
With Ime Udoka and the coaching staff emphasizing pace and versatility in training camp, Williams set out last summer to transform his body and game.
Williams’ calling card coming out of Tennessee was his ability to play multiple positions. As a rookie, he gained weight to be able to defend NBA centers and was fairly successful in the Orlando bubble. Now, he’s shifting gears a bit. He’s officially listed at 6’6”, 236 pounds, but after hiring a personal chef in the offseason and working on his conditioning, he’s lost nearly 15 pounds and he’s not done.
