Interesting wording. Should probably go imo but sounds like he is much more likely to return than Bone.

Mentioned the allure of being the first 3x SEC POY since Pistol Pete and the disappointment of the Purdue loss as being big factors in his ultimate decision.

He should stay and enjoy his SR year.

His game, with his size, does not translate to the NBA.

If he does come back, he should work on playing the game like a man or just join the soccer team.

Falling and flailing every time someone comes near you to try and draw a foul is the worst and should only be an acceptable strategy in FIFA.

So he is testing the waters and will decide later. Not really a need for a press conference as every good player should do this.

He's the back-to-back SEC player of the year. Think that makes it more warranted than others.

Sounds like he’s going to go get evaluated with the intent to return.

Very good college player, won't translate well to the NBA. 6'7 power forwards don't last at the next level unless they're freakish athletes.

Then he sounds like a pussy who doesn't believe he can make it in the NBA.

I try not to like the kid with all his flopping, but he seems very classy and a credit to the Tenners.

Of course he is going to test the NBA waters because that is all he can do. No one in the NBA will take him. The guy is GLeague.

Williams was going Ivy League before Tennessee offered. What's his major? Maybe he's another Robert Smith and wants to go to Med school instead of the league
