There’s an incredibly thin line between positional versatility and being a “tweener.” The former brings a connotation of positive impact while defending more than one position or playing more than one role. On the other hand, the latter infers no role really is a strength.
For Grant Williams, he continues to walk the tightrope between the two. A strong-bodied, high-IQ 6’6” forward, there are nights where he gets lost in the shuffle between wings and bigs that the Boston Celtics try too hard to delineate. Other games show the true value of a fluid frontcourt piece, where Grant can guard any position and stretch the floor effectively, two valuable complementary skills.
