NBA Draft 2019: Big Board 4.0
The two-time reigning SEC Player of the Year, Grant Williams has become to staple of Tennessee’s recent success. He helps fortify the Vols on both ends, providing a dynamic post-up game alongside excellent defensive instincts.
At 6-foot-7, there’s some concern regarding Williams’ size and natural position. He’s more of a small-ball four, but lacks the shooting numbers to warrant respect on the perimeter. Even so, his mid-range game and touch should spark some optimism.
On defense, Williams shows tremendous talent as a weak-side rim protector who can slide on the perimeter and defend in space. He, along with Admiral Schofield, has anchored a tough Vols defense this season. He’s firmly in the first round conversation.
