PiPress: Is Rodney Williams starting to feel the draft?

[BleedGopher]

Some interesting quotes:

"I believe he'll wait to see how the season ends," said Williams' father, Rodney Sr., "to see how much he progressed."

"When he finally realizes that he is the go-to guy, and when he starts taking over games (on offense and defense), that's when I think he'll be ready," Rodney Sr. said. That's what he's missing. If he starts doing that by the end of the season, then I could see him leaving this year."

"When he hit those first couple of threes," Izzo said, "(I thought) they've done such a great job with him."

Nobody's questioning if Williams can be a productive college player anymore. But leaving early?

"He still has a lot of room for improvement," Big Ten Network analyst and former Ohio State and NBA player Jim Jackson said. "Why settle on being a second-round pick when you might be able to have the talent to go higher if you stick around."

until he develops to the ability to create and make his own shot on a consistent basis he should stay.

At this point in time(college) he is much better playing the 4.

No way he plays the 4 in the NBA.

Needs to substantially develop his perimeter skills before he will play in NBA.

As far as overseas, I couldn't say.

The draft is going to be very deep this summer. I don't think it matters how well he closes out the year, he's a second round pick at best in this upcoming draft.

'At best' he sticks around for another year.
