February 21, 200521 yr http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=insi...v=tsn&type=lgns All the way at the bottom of the Josh Smith article.... Another guy who is likely to be in play for this year's draft is Illinois G Deron Williams. He is a junior, but a source says he already has decided he will hire an agent and leave school. One scout estimates that Williams will land in the middle of the first round, between picks 15 and 25.
February 21, 200521 yr I wouldn't take him in the first round. He's an early 2nd rounder at the highest IMHO.
February 21, 200521 yr God damnit. Oh well, can't say it was un expected. Ahh, Deron you will be missed. Make your last year one to remember, and go out on top. Edited February 21, 200521 yr by WHarris1

February 21, 200521 yr Nope, he's gonna be a good NBA point. He already has the NBA court vision, if he develops his jumper a little more he'll be damn good.
February 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) nbadraft.net has deron going # 10 and luther going # 40 Well they're f***ing retarded because there is no way in hell any intelligent team takes Deron Williams in the top 10.
February 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) nbadraft.net has deron going # 10 and luther going # 40 Yeah I saw that, it would be cool as hell if they both went to the same team like that.
February 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) nbadraft.net has deron going # 10 and luther going # 40 Does that include HS players and college freshmen and sophomores?
February 21, 200521 yr Let's assume the Net's keep Kidd like it looks they're going to do. Why would they take a PG with the #10 pick they have other holes they need to fill.
February 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 09:39 PM) nbadraft.net has deron going # 10 and luther going # 40 It also has the Bulls drafting another High School guy which I really doubt Pax will be doing any time soon. That kinda loses credibility with me after seeing that.

That kinda loses credibility with me after seeing that. No, that's not how they work. They pretty much just rank the players and put them next to the team. At this point they aren't looking at needs or whose picking where. That and the Bulls don't have a draft pick.
February 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) If the Illini get knocked out early of the tourney, then I expect that Deron and Dee will both be back. If the make it the Final 4, or win the whole thing, he books. i honestly think dee will stay no matter what.
February 21, 200521 yr Both draftcity.com and nbadraft.net have Deron top 10, but I'm sure everyone here knows more then them.
February 21, 200521 yr Author The Bulls wouldnt pass up Turiaf for a high schooler. Turiaf would fit in well as a rebounding defender at PF.
February 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) Both draftcity.com and nbadraft.net have Deron top 10, but I'm sure everyone here knows more then them. deron could be the next Quentin Richardson
February 21, 200521 yr The Bulls don't have a 1st round pick this year. They traded it to Phoenix for the rights to Luol Deng.

February 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(Tmar28 @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) deron could be the next Quentin Richardson ROFL, except he isn't a selfish whore that jacks 9 threes a game.
February 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) i honestly think dee will stay no matter what. I do too, but only because as much as I love Dee as a college player I don't think he has anything close to an NBA game at this point in time. His shooting is there and he plays very good defense, but at his height he really needs to show that he can run a team and consistently get into the paint to create for others as well as occasionally finish inside in the half court.
