Boston Celtics second-round pick Amari Williams quickly became a fan favorite after landing in Boston on draft night. The 23-year-old center could very well be the best passing big man in this year’s class, and has promise as a defender and rebounder. He officially signed a two-way contract with the team last month, meaning he can play games in both Boston and Maine for the G-League Celtics.
Though Williams is a player who could fit into the Celtics’ rotation somewhere down the line, it feels unlikely that it’ll be the case in the upcoming season. Sure, after losing Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet in the summer, Boston has far less talent at center than they did last year.
