Mike Prada over at SB Nation DC posts an excerpt from an NBADraft.net, quoting Williams’ father as saying “Jordan is testing the waters… but nothing is official, he is considering it but no decision has been made on him staying in the draft.”
So he’s putting his name in, but not (yet) hiring an agent.
That’s not really a surprise. (Although with the new-ish rules, you can only put your name in and subsequently withdraw it once, which means if he comes back, it’s almost certainly for next year only, pending whatever happens with the NBA lockout situation, etc.)
I guess best-case scenario for Terps fans now is for Jordan to hear really, really negative things about his immediate prospects in the NBA. Is it bad if I say my fingers are crossed?
