The next step for Grant Williams

Solid.

There’s a backhanded compliment in calling someone solid. It’s a half-step below good and perhaps on the same tier as average. With Grant Williams, it seems to sting a little bit more than usual. Here’s a strong-bodied whiz kid who Al Horford endearingly calls “a sponge” with so many raw tools and a sweet stroke. The expectations are higher for Williams, for better or worse.

But two years into his NBA career, there is little doubt he has enough to last in the league. His minutes can be categorized as solid; some highs based on his shooting and some lows mixed in.
