Rick Barnes has over 600 wins, has made a Final Four, coached two National Players of the Years and an eventual NBA MVP and champion, and taken two different teams to a No. 1 ranking and four different teams to the NCAA Tournament. But the 2019 NBA Draft was his most impressive accomplishment ever.
Tennessee basketball made history with three players taken in the draft. The Vols have not had that many players taken in one draft since 1950, when the draft was 12 rounds. So by any realistic standard, this is the greatest draft ever for the Vols.
