NBA Summer League: Grant Williams proved he was a first-rounder

Grant Williams was one of the best college basketball players the past two seasons. In fact, many things point to it not even being a contest.

The junior forward led the Vols to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances as high seeds. He was also named as the SEC Player of the Year two season in a row, something that hasn’t happened since the early 1990s.

The Boston Celtics selected Williams with the No.22 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. Again, all we have to look at is Summer League performance, but so far, the Celtics made the right decision.
