    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Marvin Williams maintained that he was 90 percent certain he would choose college basketball at North Carolina over the NBA.

    That 90 percent has turned into 100 percent. The 6-foot-9 All-American from Bremerton has ruled out the NBA and will play for the Tar Heels in the fall.

    He's happy with it," his father, Marvin Williams Sr., said of the decision. "I really think it's a good decision for him."

    The Williams camp wanted to wait until after he made appearances last month at the nation's top two prep all-star games -- the Roundball Classic and McDonald's All-American Game -- to finalize the decision.</div>

    Great decision by Marvin, he'll be a lottery pick in a year or two. Much better to gain a more polished game with UNC than enter on raw talent alone.

    Marvin Williams can ball, this was a great decision.. Going to UNC and polishing your game so you dont have any disadvantages when your in the NBA. Marvin IMO will be a top 10 pick in next years draft if he declares and if he doesnt surely next, next he will be a top 5 pick.
