The NBA Draft is upon us, and Tucson's own Derrick Williams is a hot commodity in the NBA right now. Rumors are flying around the internet at full speed, while everyone watches in anticipation to see where he will end up. Many people are saying the Cavaliers would be making a horrible decision if they don't pick him; while rumor has it that the Lakers will be trading Lamar Odom to the Timberwolves for the ability to choose Williams with the #2 overall selection.
Of course, the Cavs could torpedo that deal right off the bat by just picking him up first. Where would that leave the Timberwolves? Or Odom? However, that would leave them open to snatching up another promising draft pick.
While a lot of us would like to see Williams replacing the likes of Lamar Odom, it would also be pretty cool to have him go #1, making him the first #1 Draft Pick to ever come out of the U of A. It's a toss-up; he could be making history at the U of A, or go to the Lakers and remain on the West Coast. Either way, we will all be holding our breath to see where Tucson's prodigal basketball son ends up.
