Very few rookies play well enough to be trusted with extended minutes in their inaugural season.
Boston Celtics rookie forward Grant Williams is a rare exception, whose attention to detail and skills well beyond his age have earned him trusted time on the floor in key possessions from head coach Brad Stevens.
The Tennessee product, who positions himself on the bench near Stevens as much as he can to soak up whatever knowledge he is able, thinks not just seconds ahead, but sometimes an entire play ahead despite the fact he’s yet to complete a full season in the NBA.
Watch the video above to see Williams do a film session breaking down how he inbounds the ball in high-pressure scenarios.
The former Vol explains how he adapts based on how he thinks opponents might be planning their next move before they even make it with team reporter Marc D’Amico.
