<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">While there remains no official word on whether Darius Washington and/or Shawne Williams will remain in the NBA Draft, it appears both are headed that direction. Here's why: Washington has never given any indication he's even considering returning to school, despite it being almost certain he will not be a first-round selection because most NBA scouts have determined the 6-2 point guard can't play point guard. Still, Calipari has publicly left the option of returning open, though those close to the program believe Washington would rather play in the NBDL or overseas than a junior year at Memphis. Williams' situation is trickier. His grandfather, Leon Williams, has told The Commercial Appeal the 6-9 forward will return to Memphis if he's not projected to be a Top-20 pick. It appears Williams will at worst be a little lower than 20, and with good workouts he could launch himself into the lottery. In other words, at this point it seems Williams' first year at the U of M was also probably his last. </div> Source
