I watched a lot of Tennessee games last year, Williams is a stud. SEC Player of the Year. Lots of last minute game winning plays. He is tremendous.

Who cares if we maybe could have gotten him 10 picks later (maybe). We got him. He’s a WINNER!!!!!

Williams is an undersized forward at 6’7 which is small for a player who lacks in athleticism and makes most of his impact in the post … Not an explosive athlete, plays below the rim … Foul prone, fouled out of 4 games including two matchups against top talent in the country in Gonzaga and Kansas … Williams struggles to stay in front of quicker guards due to his lack of athleticism and height … While capable of hitting from beyond the arc, Williams digressed from his freshman year to junior year. Very capable from mid-range and the free throw line, but needs to continually improve from three if he plans to find a role as a small-ball four in the NBA … Hesitant to utilize jumper, typically makes impact in the post or opts to pass on open shot to get the ball into the block … Williams may struggle to create off the dribble considering we saw most of his offensive skill set in the post or catch-and-shoot opportunities on the perimeter.

Mocks had him in the mid to late 30s.

Yuck.

William's may or may not pan too well in the NBA..

That is a garbage scouting report. Is that only the cons section?

Grant Williams was a national player of the year candidate and took a Tennessee on his back. But ya lets not mention any of his defensive intangibles and only focus on the negative aspects of his game.

I'm not saying he's a top tier but he was properly drafted at 22.

There were better picks.

Unfortunately some were small forwards.

But bazley, little, johnson, for a few

I would also bet team could have picked langford at this spot and taken goga at 14.

Goga and langford
Or
Langford and williams.

Not even a close decision

Nobody in the early 20s is a blue chip. Williams’ height and lack of vertical pop are downsides. On the other hand, he is freakishly strong, showed excellent court vision and leadership, and good touch in his midrange shots. If he can extend his range to 3 - which seems entirely possible, he could be a solid smallball 4.

Well he did start off with a good first-impression, downing Kyrie Irving's "earth is flat" theory.

Let's see how this kid does though.

He's like a big Marcus Smart. Really tough.
