Grant Williams improving as a 3 and D

[Tr1boy]

Another nice game. 11pts vs Clippers. Good defense

at this rate, I trust Grant with the 3 ball more than Smart. Especially late in games

[Goldstar88]

He has been Shooting the 3 well, but overall he’s not very good. C’s still need an upgrade at the PF/C position.

Stats are stats, they tell a part of the story, not the whole story.  In this case, the story that these stats tell aligns well with the story I see from watching the games.

Grant Williams is a fine bench player.  He is doing well for a 6'-6", not terribly athletic PF/Swing.  He is reliable and provides some versatility off the bench.  But let's not put any unrealistic expectations on him.  That is only setting up for disappointment.  He will continue to be a useful player within a specific role.  Best thing for him and the team is to keep him in that role.  He started against LAC out of necessity.  Great, he stepped up and played well, but he should only be a starter for emergencies.

Yes, let’s  focus on the specific games of your choosing instead of looking at the entire picture. He’s a below average NBA player. he’s Shooting the ball well from 3, but is never going to be a good defender or rebounder with his lack of height and athleticism. He also can’t score under the basket because of this.

Like the other poster stated, you can't expect THAT much from a 24th pick of the draft

What he provided these past 3 games is above average production from a 20s picked player

If you want Okongwu or similar to walk through those doors. Its not going to happen anytime soon

You are using yearly RPM stats, which are a predictive stat and not something that generally tells how a player is playing but how they expect a player to play. Those stats are best used at year's end, not at the beginning of the year, which is why ESPN doesn't even ppublish them until after 20 games. They are much better with more data. Because of that, hose stats are incredibly wonky overall but especially early in the season. Heck, the guy that invented them doesn't even use them anymore.

Grant is playing better and it's more than just his three point shooting. He is rebounding much better. He is turning the ball over less and he is playing much better defense. That RPM stat won't tell you those things.

Again, it's about progress. Grant was horrendous to start the year. He is playing much better now. Heck, the same can be said of Tristan Thompson. Look at his yearly stats and they aren't good. But take a look at his most recent games and you see much progress, better stats and a much tougher defensive game.

[RodyTur10]

I just love the volume of shooters that some of the competition has this year. With PP and Kemba back we begin to get some of that feel.  If Grant, Semi, Theis and Marcus can get that reliable feel - that’s great, but I’m not feeling it yet.  Actually Theis been looking solid from distance recently.  Of course Carson and Nesmith could get there.    But one or 2 legit, ready snipers would go a long way to  strengthen this team.  Along with defense at the 5.

Grant Williams is somehow shooting the 3-ball at 49% (19/39) this season.
He wasn't playing well at the start of this season, but that looks to be a career-changing improvement.

Overall 3-point-shooting has been remarkably good leaguewise.

Last year: 1 team (Utah) shot 38%, 7 teams >37%, 20 teams >35%.
This year so far: 3 teams >40%, 12 teams >37%, 27 teams >35%.

Clippers make 15.0 (3pg) at 42.4% (!!!) and they even have a couple of bench guys in Coffey (33%), Mann (28%) and Kabengele (20%) who drag the percentage down.....

[tstorey_97]

He gets minutes from Stevens for his defense. He had Leonard for a good number of plays against the Clippers and was fine.

In stuff I've read, the asset most frequently pointed out was that Grant can "switch onto anybody." Stevens wants this as it cuts down on mismatches in the course of the game.

The other point made in his favor is, on defense he has an excellent sense for "help" defense and again, switches. He picks his way into a team mate's "bad" mismatch fairly often.

Despite no wingspan, he plays the 4/5 and uses his weight to equalize effectively. Do keep in mind, that almost every front court  guy he plays against is longer than him.

He was very good at the line and the field on offense in college. He has been a streaky shooter in Boston which can be forgiven since he's often on the court with two or three all star shooters. If he could be "average" on offense? He'd be one of the first guys off the bench every night.

TP to Tr1boy for Grant post!

Based on wingspan, he should be playing the two. He, however plays the 4/5 and uses his weight to equalize effectively. Do keep in mind, that almost every guy he plays against is longer than him.

And agree with your points

Grant is a better defender than some give him credit for.  He has good bbiq and is strong.  He tries to maximize both on the court ....  helps to boost team D
