<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Bobcats are barred from commenting on underclassmen who might turn pro before the June 28 draft. But a source with knowledge of the team's thinking says North Carolina freshman Marvin Williams likely would sit atop the Bobcats' draft board, should he announce today that he's turning pro. Williams has a long way to go developmentally, but he'd likely have the most potential for stardom in a draft that will include center Andrew Bogut of Utah and point guards Chris Paul of Wake Forest and Deron Williams of Illinois. He has the length and explosiveness to fill either forward spot, plus the shooting range to play at least part-time along the perimeter. But all that is speculative, contingent on Williams' decision whether to leave the Tar Heels, and how the draft lottery shakes out on May 24 in New Jersey. For now, coach-general manager Bernie Bickerstaff can only evaluate his team's needs, after an 18-64 season.</div> Full Story I still don't think we should go for Williams at this point. Unless he wows them at the pre-draft camps, then I still think we should go for Chris Paul.
I agree. Williams has upside, but might not be the best choice strategy-wise, even though the draft has a few good point guards, the top 3 point guards are likely to be gone by the Bobcat's probably 13th overall pick. If they had a choice, I would also take Paul, then grab a wing like Antoine Wright, Danny Granger, or Martell Webster if they really wanted someone at the SF spot with their next pick.
