Grant Williams’ advice to young players buried in Boston’s rotation? ‘Keep your head, keep your heart’

And with one of the younger rosters in the NBA at the moment, there are several other players currently going through what his experience was in 2020-21, a situation not lost on the press who asked him what advice he might share with teammates Aaron Nesmith, Payton Pritchard, Bruno Fernando and others.
