Jayson Williams retired. Jason Willimas or Yao Ming will be the 1st pick next year unless DaJaun Wagner averages 20ppg+ at Memphis, in which he might he able to surpass those 2. The other darkhouse for the #1 pick is Chris Marcus, the huge center from Western Kentucky. In all likelihood though, it will be Ming or Williams.
what about the high school kids? Isnt jason williams a bit old for the top five in the draft? the time is Yao
it depends what team will draft first & does Jwill2 declare out after his junior year. Yao Ming and DaJuan Wagner are too posiibilities. -but it's still way too early to predict who will be the first. Who ever thaught year ago, that Kwame Brown will be #1 pick.
I think it will be Jason Williams, but watch out for Amare Stoudamire (especially if he grows a couple more inches and keeps his nose clean). He's supposed to be a 2002 version of (Seattle Sonics model, not CLE or POR ) Shawn Kemp.
Now there's why everyone's skipping college, they don't think(And are probably right) they will be drafted as high if they tone and harvest their skills in college. And also, Williams is the real deal. Could become a top 6 pg his rookie season(ALA Francis)
