    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">There were a few more rings in the media circus as Illinois began its 12th week as the nation's top-ranked team.

    Junior guard Deron Williams denied an online report Monday that he "already has decided he will hire an agent and leave school.''

    "That's not true,'' Williams said when told of the report before practice. "I don't know where that came from. I'm worried about the season right now. After the season, I'll decide that.''

    The brief item by The Sporting News NBA correspondent Sean Deveney also said, "One scout estimated that Williams will land in the middle of the first round, between picks 15 and 25.''

    If that's true, Williams figures to be gone. He has said he will turn pro this spring if he's a projected first-round pick, and Illini insiders expect that to happen.</div> Source

    This draft is really deep at PG (potentially): Jarrett Jack, Chris Paul, John Gilchrist, Deron Williams, Travis Deiner, and Chris Thomas.
