Grant Williams: Where does he fit?


     Will Grant Williams fit into this year's Celtics plans? This photo kinda sums up what Celtics fans feel about him. Are there enough minutes for him given all the moves the Mad Scientist, Brad Stevens, has made? Celtics fans have seen that he does make plays but also you question what the heck is he doing out there?! Have inconsistent minutes affected his progress as well. Given the way the roster is shaping up, where do the minutes end up being split?

     Grant has shown flashes since he's been a part of the Celtics organization, reminding you of Semi Ojeleye - but maybe with a tad more skill offensively? Works hard, has a basketball mind, willing to do whatever it takes to be on the floor. He has a knack for big rebounds. Can occasionally hit a three, down low he has some skills for a smaller sized player. Pretty decent passer and gives what he has on the defensive end. We all know he was an SEC player of the year. 

     Question remains where do you find minutes for him? Is he a guy who comes in and gives Al or Rob a break? Who should he be on the floor with? The Jays, second unit, or maybe just a spot bench player who can give you minutes in a long arduous season? Or has his time come to an end like say Carsen Edwards? Has that entire draft class been a bust? Could Grant be used as a trade chip in a deal? 

      Only time will tell what lies in Grants future. If he does get solid minutes can he make a big enough impact to catch the eye of new Coach Ime Udoka? Celtics let's wait and see because we all know when your on the court, the ball don't lie.

In defense of Marcus Smart

 Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S

Did the Celtics Kevin McHale really have a wingspan of 8-feet?
