I'm confident Coach Capel will make sure Willie has every available piece of information out there at his disposal when they meet this weekend, and I doubt if these draft projections fans get excited about will play much of a role in the decision. The people close to WW will contact NBA and draft experts they can trust, not some guy who writes an article for a sports television network that has been wrong about a lot of things over the years.
Capel's dad is a scout for the Hornets, so it stands to reason Mr. Capel and his contacts will be among the trusted sources. Willie's mother is not your typical mom who doesn't know much about basketball, so I've got to believe she will be an important part of any decision he makes. She also knows the game well enough to realize her son has some work to do before he's ready for the next level. Being a high draft pick is one thing. But Willie is not the type who would be happy as a top ten to fifteen pick, if he has to spend the first season or two coming off the bench while he's learning to be a point guard, which will almost certainly be the position he'll play in the NBA. That's especially true if he's closer to 6' 2", as some have suggested, than the well publicized 6' 3" to 6' 4" we've seen in every report and news article written in the last couple of years.
When you combine those facts with what Willie and Coach Capel have been saying for sometime, all signs point to a return next year.
