When Celtics coach Brad Stevens spoke about Grant Williams on Thursday, one of the first traits he highlighted was Williams’s intelligence.
Stevens, addressing members of the media at the Auerbach Center, pointed out that the former Tennessee star is “super smart” and “a guy with a point guard’s mind.” Williams, of course, is 6-foot-7, 236 pounds, but Stevens is impressed by his versatility and sharpness on the court.
“We’re looking forward to having him,” Stevens said. “We think he translates well. You couldn’t be more impressed with a kid when you sit down with him.
