2019 NBA Draft Grades: Celtics Select Grant Williams With No. 22 Pick

The Boston Celtics selected Tennessee forward Grant Williams with the No. 22 pick in the 2019 NBA draft.

Williams averaged a team-high 18.8 points and 7.5 rebounds to go with 3.2 assists per game through 37 starts, leading the Vols all the way to the Sweet 16, where the team's 2018-19 season ended in an overtime loss to Purdue. The 6'7", 240-pound forward shot at a 56.5% clip from the field and 32.6% from deep.

Williams dropped a career-high 43 points at Vanderbilt in January—the most points by a Tennessee player since all-time leading scorer Allan Houston also dropped 43 against LSU in 1990.
