Bench

Jordan McRae

Anytime Jordan McRae is coming off the bench; you know the team is going to be good. McRae was an outstanding scorer and some games he couldn’t be stopped. He ended up 16th on Tennessee’s scoring list in basically only three seasons of play.

Grant Williams

I know Grant Williams has only played two seasons. However, they were two productive seasons. Last year Williams was voted the SEC Player of the Year with 15.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.

For most of the season, Williams was the go-to player on offense when Tennessee needed a big bucket. Another player that has a boring style of play but it is really effective. You could argue that Williams could get more playing time in the rotation.

Dane Bradshaw

Last but not least Dane Bradshaw has to make the team. A lot of fans might discredit the play of Bradshaw, but he brought a lot of intangibles that can’t be coached. He always played bigger than his size and would bring an effort during practice that would not be matched.

It is a no-brainer that Bradshaw has to make the all-century roster. The stats might not be as good as the other players, but he makes our team even if it is at the end of the bench.
