With the 22nd pick in the 2019 NBA draft, Danny Ainge and the Boston Celtics utilized their second first-round pick on Tennessee’s star power forward, Grant Williams. After losing Marcus Morris, Al Horford, and Aron Baynes, the Celtics needed some support in the frontcourt.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t sign any veterans to help out since Ainge maxed out Kemba Walker, so they decided to round out their roster through the draft. Ainge selected Williams to fill Bayne’s role. He would come off the bench as a small-ball five or switchable four that could stretch the floor and make simple reads.
