Grant Williams gave Tennessee basketball a lot of memories during his three years on Rocky Top. Here are his 10 greatest games with the Volunteers.

After three years with Tennessee basketball, Grant Williams is heading to the NBA. A projected first-round draft pick, Williams has earned the right to take his game to the next level, and he’s doing just that.

But before he goes to the pros, we should take a look back at one of the greatest players the Vols ever had. A two-time SEC Player of the Year and an All-American, Williams provided numerous memorable moments for Rocky Top.

Heading into next year, it’s clear that he will be extremely hard to replace. Rick Barnes is doing his best to offset the loss for Tennessee basketball, but there are things Williams delivered that UT simply can’t offset next year.

Throughout his time on Rocky Top, Williams displayed those things. They came at different times in his career but grew much more consistent as he developed. By the time he was a junior, his elite production became a regular thing.

In this post, we’re going to look back at those times he produced the most. Yes, we’re examining the most memorable games Williams had as a Vol. Lots of things were taken into account when we did this ranking as well. For starters, they have to be wins.

Sure, his stat line is a big deal. But Williams’ efficiency and the importance of games he played in both play a huge role in this criteria as well. We also examine moments in games in which he came up big to factor that into our overall ranking. Often times, his play stood out alongside Admiral Schofield as the two forwards made a huge impact.

So when did he stand out the most? How often did Williams generate headlines with his play? Let’s take a look now. These are the 10 most memorable games Grant Williams had during his three seasons with Tennessee basketball.
