Boston Celtics Draft Grant Williams With 22nd Overall Pick
Douglas DeFelice-USA TODAY SportsGrant Williams’ wait is over. As of Thursday night, he is now a member of the Boston Celtics.
The Celtics spent their second pick in the first round - the 22nd overall pick - on the two-time SEC Player of the Year.
The now-former Tennessee Volunteer joins head coach Brad Stephens and will play alongside the likes of Gordon Hayward, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and others.
The undersized 6-7 power forward was under-recruited out of high school. As a three-star prospect, Williams ended up choosing Tennessee over a couple of Ivy League offers.
