Here’s a study of 20 of the best (and latest) 2019 NBA Mock Drafts in where University of Tennessee players Grant Williams, Admiral Schofield and Jordan Bone are showing up ahead of this Thursday’s 2019 NBA Draft.

Some mock drafts are two-rounders while others just project the first round. The most common draft position for each player is in bold. The workouts listed are from Hoops Hype’s full listing as well as NBA team post-workout videos on their team websites. You’ll also find some comments from me down below in Vince’s View.

Vince’s View
There are a number of really interesting things from this mock draft deep dive.

There are 10 different teams projected to draft Grant Williams among the 20 mock drafts. That shows his versatility in style and fit, even if some believe he doesn’t have a clearly defined position in the NBA.

The Portland Trail Blazers appeared in five mock drafts to select Williams at #25. I do think that is a very nice style fit for Grant.

CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander actually has the Brooklyn Nets picking Peanut Butter and Jelly in the draft, with Williams in the 1st round at 27 and Admiral Schofield with the first selection of the 2nd round at 31. The Boston Celtics could be another candidate to do something like that, as unlikely as it may be.

It appears that the NBA Scouting Combine really helped Jordan Bone, as his appearance in two-round mock drafts has grown steadily since.

While several NBA teams worked out two Vols draft prospects, the Atlanta hawks and the Boston Celtics worked out three Vols.
