Dee Brown, Deron Williams, Powell, and Luther should all have NBA careers of some sort. Maby Augie too if he has a good senior year. Luther will probaly be the best pro out of all and will likely get drafted the highest also.

I disagree, if williams leaves this year (which everything is pointing towards that) he will be a top 5-10 pick. Head is projected to go early second round, but i see him going late first round after this year.

I'm going to doubt Williams is going to go this year and he sure as hell won't be a pick from 5-10.(I know scouts said he could be a lottery pick during the summer but at this point, there is just no way.) His shot is just miserable and he really needs to improve that if he's going to make it in the NBA. Luther, on the other hand, is a probable 1st team AA at this point in the season, and has amazing potential with his athletisism. He will have the most impressive resume of all Illinois players after this season, book it.

You can honestly say without bias that you think Deron Williams won't have a good pro career?

I think it will be decent, about the same as Bracey Wright.

 

Neither of them will be stars, but solid players.

 

NBAdraft.net has Williams going 12th in next yr's draft, Wright going 20th. (2006)

I voted Head. I don't think Dee is good enough to make it work in the pros. I'd see him like TJ Ford, but Ford surprised alot of people. I am not as firmilar with Williams and I think he is the only other one besides Head who will ever make atleast a little impact in the pros. I think Luther Head is special though.

None of them as much as Paul Davis, right Steve?

No one even projects head to make it in the draft next year. He will be in the nba one way or another though in my opinion. I think 12 points per game as a role player is expected from him in the nba.
