best believe whomever his agent is will surely be saying "Today's price is not Yesterday's price!".

To be fair, a lot of players can flop and hit 7 of 18 wide open corner 3s. The Bucks (awful) defensive scheme deserves the real credit.

Great couple games for him.
Hopefully he can replicate vs Miami so he can cash in.

He shot 41% from 3 for the season. I guess he played against the Bucks defense every game.

He's one of those modern bigs who is essentially the perfect role player.

- Defends wings effectively
- Defends bigs effectively
- Defends guards effectively
- Shoots the three effectively

There's almost no reason not to have him on the floor. The other team cannot put him into a disadvantage defensively, and he spreads the floor on offense.

Williams passed up a few threes in the first quarter. I think the coach got in his ear and said to take those shots.

Well his biggest weakness is rim protection since he's so undersized and pretty ground bound. I think the Celtics can mitigate that because their perimeter defense is so elite, but he might struggle if you tried to play him at the 5 on a team that didn't have great point of attack defense.

But he never plays the 5. Hasn't played it once this year. He's a wing now.

I guess it depends where you get your position data from. BB reference and 82games both still have him logging minutes at the 5 this season. Limited minutes to be sure but still logged em.

Celts obviously going to try to extend him this summer before he hits free agency, but his agent isn't going to give them much of a discount now, LOL.

Dude deserves it, though. He's a very valuable, very hard to find type of role player.
