Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Pp-blp Vorlage:Use mdy dates Vorlage:Infobox basketball biography Grant Dean Williams (born November 30, 1998) is an American professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Tennessee Volunteers. A 6'7" power forward from Charlotte, North Carolina, he was drafted 22nd overall in the 2019 NBA draft.

College career

Williams was an All-Southeastern Conference player as a freshman, sophomore, and junior.[1] He was awarded back-to-back SEC Player of the Year honors for the 2017–18 and 2018–19 seasons, becoming the first player to do so since Corliss Williamson in 1995.[2][3] He led Tennessee to a #3-seed in the 2018 NCAA Tournament and #2-seed in the 2019 NCAA Tournament. He is recognized by most Volunteer fans as the greatest player in Tennessee history.

Professional career

Boston Celtics (2019–present)

Williams was selected with the 22nd overall draft pick by the Boston Celtics in the 2019 NBA draft.[4] On July 11, 2019, the Boston Celtics announced that they had signed Williams to a four-year, $11.8 million rookie-scale contract.[5] On October 23, 2019, Williams made his NBA debut, coming off the bench in a 93–107 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers with a rebound.[6] While not always playing a ton of minutes, Williams found himself a spot in the rotation as a solid, literally and figuratively, face-up defender, rebound chaser, and energy provider. On December 4, 2019, Williams made his first career start in a winning effort against the Miami Heat where he didn't do much statistically in 17 minutes.[7] Only a few weeks later, in some extended run during a blowout win against the Detroit Pistons, Williams dropped a career high 18 points on 8-10 shooting.[8] In an effort to garner support for his teammates making the NBA All-Star Game, Grant pledged to dye his hair pink if Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker all made the all-star game.[9] He finished his rookie season averaging just over 15 minutes per game in 69 contests where he chipped in 3.4 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.[10]
