Several players participating in 2019 NBA Draft will receive a big contract extension before the 2022-23 season, but Celtics forward Grant Williams is not among them. As the 22nd pick in the 2019 class, he missed a new contract, however, his dedication to Boston is as always. Adrian Wojnarowski of
ESPN announced on Twitter that Serena Williams will not sign a rookie contract extension before the renewal deadline, but will enter the restricted free agent market next summer.
Just 13 minutes later, Keith Smith responded to Celtic fans: We want to win the 18th championship.
Although Grant Williams missed a potential payday, he was still ready to compete and hung the No. 18 flag on the beam. For Celtic fans, this is all you can ask for.
After an excellent 2021-22 season, Williams surpassed the ordinary and set career highs in almost all data categories. As playing time increases, the forward averaged 7.8 points per game in the regular season and shot 47.5%.
In playoff , Keith Smith improved his level in the first few rounds. He is a corner shot expert and even set the league's record of the most three-pointers in Game 7. Williams scored more than Antetokounmpo in that game, and his outstanding performance helped the Milwaukee Bucks come home.
Grant Williams failed to receive a contract renewal in the offseason despite his heroic performance against the 2021 championship. There are conflicting rumors about whether he will get the job, but in the end the 23-year-old didn't get the job.
Anyway, Williams will play a big role in the Celtics this year. With Robert Williams III's injury and Danilo Gallinari's possible miss this season, someone has to come forward. Serena Williams sometimes showed flexibility as a center and he even had a good defense of some of the best scorers in the game.
Keith Smith: Look at how high he carried Kevin Durant . Williams cuts Durant with his feet and pushes him into the corner, doing a great job. From there, KD's mistakes were made.
If that's not enough to get him to renew his contract with Boston, another team will fight for Williams next summer. The forward can serve multiple championship contenders as a solid trinity player.
Currently, Grant Williams will be locked in the new season. His desire for a Celtic championship is a sensation of his dedication and his motivation to bring another championship to Boston.
