Grant Williams Q&A: 'I try my best to laugh at the hate and disrespect'

Grant Williams played a crucial role in the Boston Celtics’ Finals run last season. Selected 22nd in the 2019 draft, Williams has not only become a key player in the Celtics’ rotation but also earned a seat at the table of CBA negotiations as a vice president of the NBPA. After declining a four-year, $50 million extension, Williams decided to bet on himself for a more lucrative deal this upcoming summer.

The former Tennessee Volunteer recently took time out of his busy schedule to speak with HoopsHype about the team’s mindset for the upcoming playoffs, the CBA he helped negotiate, and his forthcoming free agency.
