Boston Celtics 2020-21 individual players grades: Grant Williams

The second-year forward stumbled a bit early in 2020-21, but settled into a productive depth role by season’s end.

Now that the 2020-21 Boston Celtics season is firmly in the rear-view mirror, it’s possible to spend some time taking stock of how each player did with the opportunity he had.

To that end, we are grading every player who put in time on the basketball court for the Celtics this season, including all 15 members of the regular roster, both two-way players and the players the team cut or traded away. That’s 21 players altogether, and today’s focus is second-year forward Grant Williams. Asked to play more of a modern power forward than where he found success as a small-ball center his first season in the league, the Tennessee product struggled a bit early but began to find his way late in the season.

Let’s assess Williams’ sophomore season in the league with the Celtics, in context.
