My dad has been a Celtics fan for as long as I can remember. This is really cool.

First time I see him in a Celtics uniform I'm gonna puke on my shoes

 

[YankeeVol]

Literally about the only team I refuse to buy anything of.

Great landing spot though

 

[minorvol]

Happy for Grant. Class act and represents the Vols so well. Wishing him a long successful career. I will be cheering for you.

Dr. J was my childhood hero. Celtics are the "Debbil Bobbie". Tonight I crack. Will be rooting for them in 20'. Great great Vol taken tonight.

So glad the Celtics picked him up, Brad Stevens will find a role for him and you will see Grant shine in a cerebral offense.

 

[Dudleys87]

Like him or not I think Stevens is as good a coach as grant could want being a rookie

Wow, hadn't thot of that. Hope he does.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Awesome. I'm really happy for Grant and I hope he thrives in Boston.

*I've loved the Celtics since I was a kid. I saw them at TBA when I was in middle school.

NBA Draft 2019: The best and worst picks of the first round

Best picks
Grant Williams, Tennessee, Celtics, No. 22 overall: This one is actually kind of on the line of the Cameron Johnson pick. Williams was probably taken a little bit too early. He is a bit of a polarizing prospect who some ranked as high as 15 on their big boards but others saw him closer to the late first round or even early second. So the argument could be made the Celtics reached a little bit here.
But, Williams is just too perfect for the Celtics to dislike the pick. He's a hard worker who excels on the offensive boards and gets more out of his smaller frame than just about anyone in this draft. Brad Stevens will absolutely love this guy. And, he is a better shooter than people give him credit for, which also fills a need for Boston. The Celtics need shooting and Williams gives them that. It's really hard to dislike this pick.

You Go Grant!!!!!!

Here's the GW celebration, since he wasn't in NYC.

Grant Williams Celebration

 

[IPleadInsanity]

That surprises me!. He will get a true shot at NBA stardom and a bundle of cash. Good head on your shoulders does pays off.

 

[goldvol]

That is pretty high praise right there. I am looking forward to seeing him successful on a competitive Celtics roster.

 

[Dallasbowlin]
