<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">A nationally respected Web site has reported Shawne Williams will remain in the NBA Draft, no matter what. A local television station has reported he will be at the University of Memphis, no matter what. Two different outlets. Two different predictions. According to people close to the situation, neither is accurate. "It's premature," said Eric Robinson, Williams's personal trainer. "I don't think anybody knows what Mr. Williams is going to do except Mr. Williams." Several close to the Tiger program told The Commercial Appeal on Thursday that Williams hasn't informed coach John Calipari of any "definite" plan, including that he will be a Tiger, which was reported by a local TV station Wednesday night at about the same time Laurinburg (N.C.) Institute Prep coach Chris Chaney was meeting with his star player. So what did Williams tell Chaney? "He told me he is going to do whatever he can to stay in the draft and make it," Chaney answered. "Now if it gets close to the deadline to withdraw and it doesn't look like he's going to be a first-round pick, he'll probably go to Memphis. But his plan is to try to stay in the draft." </div> Source
I haven't heard anything about this kid except for his little profile on nbadraft.net. Anyone have significant info on this kid?

Anyone have significant info on this kid?</div> Yeah, same here. But from his NBA Draft profile, he seems like a solid ball player. I think the best thing would be for him to go and play for Memphis for a year or two, but it's obvious that he wants to be in the NBA.
Well, first of all he's your typical Memphis recruit. He failed his senior year of HS in Memphis so he had to go off to Laurinburg Prep in North Carolina, so you know he's not that smart of a kid. I've seen him play once or twice; he's not <u>that</u> great. He's done pretty well in these All-Star games, but not extremely well. Right now it looks like he's a mid-second rounder. As far as his game goes, he has a pretty all around game. Nothing stood out to me as being very exceptional about it, nor did anything standout as needing correction. Anyway, I'd trust this internet source over Memphis' local television stations any day of the week. They're all biased down here; it's rediculous.
Thanks. Telling from what your saying, then maybe he should just go to Memphis for a year or two to work on his game a little more then maybe he could sneak into the first round in 07 or 08.
