I’ve got another 8-10 to lose to be able to play the 4 more,” Williams said at Media Day.

With Al Horford back in the fold and Robert Williams taking on more responsibility at the center position, Grant Williams may not need to play as many small ball 5 minutes going forward. That’s not “Baby Al” territory, but for the third-year pro, he knows that to get playing time, he’ll have to be more versatile than he’s ever been before. “At the end of the day, I’m going to play towards the role that I’m asked to play. Whatever that is, whatever the team needs, that’s what I’ll be.”

Rumble, young man, rumble.
