Grant Williams was the final cog in the Boston Celtics’ machine that helped everything tick all year long. There were certainly some ups and downs, especially in the playoffs, but when looking at Boston’s 2021-22 season as a whole, Williams was one of the most consistent figures on the squad.
Last year, Williams was virtually unplayable. He was too big to play the four and keep up with quicker forwards, but he was squeezed out of Boston’s big man rotation by Daniel Theis (to start the year), Tristan Thompson, Robert Williams, and even Luke Kornet at times.
