One of many gamers that has a really underrated influence for the Charlotte Hornets is Grant Williams. For a crew that’s crammed with youth and never a lot expertise, a participant like Williams with expertise may be very helpful, particularly since he truly supplies use on the courtroom as nicely.

Williams, sadly, went down with a really extreme harm this previous season versus Milwaukee, which ended his season in late November. He suffered a torn ACL and in addition had harm to his meniscus and different ligaments in his proper knee. He had surgical procedure to restore the harm and must be prepared for coaching camp in September.

The harm scare undoubtedly makes issues a bit of extra fascinating, seeing that it was a really main harm, however Williams appears to be a really decided participant to get again to full well being and compete subsequent season.

As nicely, Williams was an enormous issue on the defensive finish, as he was capable of guard the opposing crew’s finest gamers like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Alperen Sengun, and Jayson Tatum within the video games he was obtainable.

Williams is a giant physique, which helps his inside protection and his choose and roll/pop recreation with LaMelo Ball. These elements of his recreation are essential to the on-court success for Charlotte.

The Hornets additionally want to carry onto the veteran for different essential causes. For one, his capturing is much-needed, as there is not many constant shooters on the crew. Another excuse is the crew merely wants vocal leaders that know the best way to influence the youthful gamers with their phrases.

Williams all through his profession has all the time been an unimaginable teammate, which is one thing that may have an underrated influence. He additionally is among the few gamers on the crew that places his physique on the road and attracts offensive fouls.

On prime of that, he is among the higher hustle gamers within the league, as you realize, you are going to see him dive for a free ball greater than as soon as a recreation.

So, with that in thoughts, I do not see any motive that Charlotte could be trying to transfer on from the 26-year-old.
