Why would he make a decision so quickly? Especially if he's "considered a top 10 pick"?

I've been saying that for about three months, but Woj isn't a media member trying to pose as a scout or someone who just floats random sources. When he says "considered" I tend to think that means NBA teams are considering it.CapCityAg89 said:
Read "widely a considered a top 10 pick by Media analysts and not people who actually make that decision for a living" and it makes more sense.

Stick him on next year's roster and this team has a chance to mirror the success of 1980, 2007, and 2016.

That still doesn't really answer the question Hop. Even if you 100% intend to come back, I'd think it would still be beneficial to at least go through the combine process before withdrawing. If for no other reason than just to prepare himself for it next year.

If our point guards come thru like we expect them too. Sure thing.

They're going to do that anyway, but I meant less from the physical aspect and more of the mental. Getting to meet with a bunch of teams, see what types of questions they really ask, that sort of thing.
To be clear, good for us, I just think going through the process would be valuable. But then again I've never done it and don't have any first hand experience so what do I know.
I actually think you are wrong. He is probably really close to a top 10 pick right now and with that he is the most likely player on the board to continue to rise.jeffdjohnson said:
He isn't a top 10 pick in this years draft. He is in that next tier of players that could go between 10 - 20. Next years class may have fewer first tier prospects which could bump his range up, say 5 - 15. There is also some downside to coming back. If he doesn't improve he may end up closer to 20 than 5.
Still, someone like Williams is useful in today's NBA whether he improves or not. He is a rim-runner in the pick and roll and shot blocker defensively. In reality his biggest risk is injury. I personally wouldn't risk it, but that is a lucky break for us.
