Grant Williams Reflects On Rivalry With Bam Adebayo, 'It's More Fun' (Heavy.com)

Williams went in-depth on his long-standing rivalry with Adebayo and what it's like for him to cover the all-star now compared to high school.

In the eight minutes and 56 seconds that Robert Williams III has matched up with Adebayo, Adebayo scored nine points on 3-for-5 shooting from the field, which is good for 60 percent shooting. But for me, it’s always been a small, small, small point guard that’s really shifty and quick. However, Williams said that it’s harder for him to guard smaller players, like point guards, who are shifty quick, using Darius Garland as an example. However, despite Adebayo’s solid shooting numbers, he’s only putting up 14.8 points a game in this series on 10.4 shot attempts a game. While Williams has been his primary defender, Adebayo has put up a field goal percentage of 62.5 percent. In the years since then, the two have already faced off in the NBA Playoffs twice.
