Grant Williams taking on the role of Al Horford

By now, we all should know the impact Al Horford had on this Celtics team for the past three years. Off the court, he was the glue guy and calming presence who kept the team together when they needed a level head to push them through a season. On the court, he consistently put up solid numbers, but they were always overshadowed by others in the box score. Many people looked past him, but Horford was one of the most vital players on the Celtics roster. With his departure, they are now going to have to fill this void in the front court.
