After spending three seasons together as teammates at the University of Tennessee, Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield met in the NBA on Monday night for the first time.
Of course, Williams became a two-time SEC Player of the Year with the Volunteers and was selected with the 22nd overall pick by the Boston Celtics. Schofield was named a two-time SEC All-Tournament Team player and was the 42nd pick by the Washington Wizards.
The two players helped lead the Volunteers to two appearances in the NCAA Tournament. The group nearly went on to the Elite Eight after falling to Carsen Edwards and Purdue in overtime in the Sweet Sixteen.
After seeing each other on Monday, they swapped jerseys following the game.

The Wizards would hold on to beat the Celtics, 99-94. Williams tallied nine points and six rebounds off of the bench while Schofield logged just four minutes of action in the win.

Williams is averaging 3.3 points and 2.3 rebounds with the Celtics.
