Reserve Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams has re-emerged as part of the Celtics’ postseason rotation in the 2023 Eastern Conference playoffs and has seen his stock go up in a re-draft of the 2019 class done by Blazer’s Edge’s Adrian Bernecich.
As has often been the case for the University of Tennessee alumnus, Williams moved up in yet another re-draft of his class, jumping to just outside the lottery at 15th overall — a considerable leap from the 22nd overall selection he was actually selected by the Celtics.
The Charlotte native finds himself taken just behind the Miami Heat’s Caleb Martin at No. 14 overall (and, incidentally, taken in the slot that was used by Boston to draft Romeo Langford), and just ahead of Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Lu Dort.
If the Celtics star were unhappy enough in his current role, the option is on the table. https://t.co/ai2BMKeboO

That seems a reasonable rate for Williams given his bumpy 2022-23 season, if perhaps a bit low given what we were expecting to see after a strong showing in the 2022 NBA playoffs.
