Grant Williams knows a thing or two about what it’s like to be a rookie in the NBA.
The forward seems to have made recent draft picks Aaron Nesmith and Payton Pritchard feel welcome ahead of his sophomore season with the Boston Celtics. And after learning a little bit about both newcomers, Williams appears to be impressed with them on and off the court.
“They are working their butts off,” Williams told reporters Saturday, via Yahoo! Sports’ Keith Smith. “I just love their games. They fit in with our culture.”
But beyond basketball, Williams probably appreciates the time he’s spending with the rookies off the court.
Remember how he couldn’t get anyone to play the game Settlers of Catan with him last season? That won’t be the case this year.
We love to see the team chemistry already being built.
