Shawne Williams to Enter NBA Draft
According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Memphis freshman forward Shawne Williams is going to announce that he will enter the NBA Draft. However, Williams’ grandfather Leon Williams says that he is not going to hire an agent, leaving the option of returning to the Tigers open. He says, “He’s torn on the decision because he enjoys school, but the (financial) needs overshadow everything else. The time is right if he can get the money and get a good contract.” Moreover, Leon Williams also said that if Shawne is not a Top-20 pick, he will likely go back to Memphis. Williams helped lead Memphis to the Elite Eight this past season, averaging 13.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game. Teammate Darius Washington has also said he is likely to enter the NBA Draft.
