What does Amari Williams bring to the Boston Celtics rotation?
Amari Williams is the Boston Celtics' latest project. The British-born big man was selected with the 46th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Entering the NBA, his best asset is his playmaking, both from the post and in the half-court. Williams is also a reliable offensive weapon, capable of being a solid screener, rebounder and interior scorer. However, his defense has plenty of room for improvement. His limited hip flexibility and heavy feet mean quicker guards and forwards could target him.
Williams, a five-year collegiate product out of Drexler and Kentucky, will likely spend his first professional season with the Maine Celtics in the G League. Boston has enjoyed strong success with their developmental pipeline in recent years. Brad Stevens will undoubtedly be hoping that the pipeline continues to pay dividends for the franchise.
