For Boston’s Grant Williams, group success, communication will be the Celtics’ focus in 2022-23

The Tennessee product wants to ensure “as a team we have success because individually, that stuff happens.”

Earlier in the Boston Celtics‘ 2022 offseason, reserve forward Grant Williams paid the Golden State Warriors a compliment by saying that their collective experience at such high levels of play were the difference between a Celtics victory and the Dubs hanging a banner at the end of the 2021-22 season.

The comment went over like a lead balloon at the time due to Williams’ debatable assertion that the Celtics were the better team despite the loss, but arguing over those particular semantics aside, the Tennessee product does indeed have a point. And if the Dubs’ Finals experience was the difference, one would hope Williams has learned from the loss.

Asked about whether he had in a Media Day interview with team reporters Marc D’Amico and Amanda Pflugrad, and the Charlotte native said “Absolutely. I learned what exactly we all are capable of as individuals as a group.”
