I’ll go one step farther…in addition to freeing Kleber up for more 5, Grant Williams will be an UPGRADE over him at the 4. I know you know his game, but I think some people are just looking at his stats and choosing to be underwhelmed.
Newsflash: his former team’s TWO BEST PLAYERS are forwards.
He is EXACTLY what this team needs, all the way down to the spots on the floor where he feels comfortable shooting. He’s a GREAT defender. Not good - GREAT.
MOST Celtics fans I know are pissed, because their defensive, switching identity is what has fueled their success these past several years. Not only have they just lost their TWO BEST DEFENDERS, but they can’t even be a switching team anymore because of the ridiculous mistake to infect their team with the slow mediocrity of Porzingis. Talk about “maybes”…I think Boston will be significantly worse than they have been, recently.
