Grant Williams has faced criticism from various sources throughout the 2023-24 NBA season. Mavericks players and front office staff, as well as Draymond Green in a post-game rant, have taken shots at him. Most recently, Boston Celtics Play-by-Play commentator Mike Gorman labeled him as annoying and a “bad locker room guy” during an interview on the Boston radio show ‘Toucher & Hardy’.

However, former Boston Celtic Jayson Tatum took to social media to express his frustration with the negаtive narrative surrounding Grant Williams. Tatum’s post indicates that he wаnted to publicly show support for his former teammate. It’s worth noting that the Celtics initially intended to keep Williams and only moved on due to tax concerns.

Since joining the Charlotte Hornets, Grant Williams has made a positive impact. He has endeared himself to his teammates, players, and coaches. While he may be vocal and always have something to sаy, this has been a refreshing change for Hornets fans who have witnessed their team sleepwalk through blowout losses for too long.
