Nothing earth shattering but according to kawakami in today's SJ merc he says he's hearing that Williams may be coming out for the draft. My guess is he might be considering putting his name in to test the waters. With no highschoolers in the draft I think we'll see a lot of underclassmen consider that because they figure the 5-6 spots that would have gone to HS players now might go to them instead.
My guess is Marcus is smart enough to see if he does test the waters that he's not ready.
UCLA has an advantage there in that so many NBA players are on campus in the summer playing pickup games, that UCLA kids get a chance to grade themselves against NBA talent, that's why UCLA kids don't do the test the waters thing generally. Ariza went early but he didn't test the waters he jumped in with an agent. Most of their kids already know what teh NBA thinks of them because they get it straight from NBA players in pickup games on campus.
