Grant Williams (Grant2Will) is perfecting his role on the Celtics. He spoke with MichaelVPina about who he models his game after and more:
Game 7 was fun and all, but honestly it was before that. It was before that that made me realize like,. It was Game 2 against Brooklyn and Milwaukee where I had some success, and I was like,. I remember telling myself that and having so much fun with it.
SI: Some players are ahead of their time. Some players come a little too late and they kind of get phased out before their career naturally ends, just off trends and styles that become popular throughout the league. You feel perfect for this era. You can guard five positions, you shoot the three-ball at a 40% clip. When you look at some of the great role players in the NBA right now, where do you see yourself in that conversation?In all honesty I see myself at the top of the list.
SI: A couple of weeks ago I did an interview with Stan Van Gundy, and he wondered aloud if you might be the best defender in the NBA. What’s your reaction to hearing something like that?It made me smile from ear to ear because Stan’s been great to me. My mom and dad are the ones watching TV broadcasts. And they’re always telling me what he’s saying, and I’m like, ‘Wow, that’s incredible,’ because I worked to get to that point.
SI: You’ve spent a ton of time in these playoffs on Kevin Durant, Jrue Holiday, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and half a dozen other players with different skill sets. Mentally, as much as physically, how do you download all of that information to prepare for those matchups?I feel like I do a great job understanding people, trying to learn everything about a person and their tendencies.
SI: For Bam specifically, when he’s bringing the ball up the floor and you’re on him, what are you trying to take away? What are you looking out for? As a big, he’s physically imposing with such a unique set of skills.I think that’s what makes me so versatile. When I see that, it’s one of those things where you just want to keep the ball in front of you. With Bam—same with Giannis—he’ll kinda barrel into you and hope that you’ll get out of the way or foul him.
