A quarter century ago, after his junior year at Maryland, Walt Williams needed to make a decision. Three of the Terps' underclassmen from last season have wrestled with the same decision for weeks, if not months.
Stay in school or go pro?
Williams, who scored nearly 19 points a game as a junior in 1990-91, decided to return to College Park for his senior year despite the fact the Terps were in the midst of a three-year NCAA probation that kept them out of the NCAA tournament his last two seasons.
"After my junior year, I was projected to be a first-round pick, maybe the lower half, but I said, 'I could come for my senior year and I could be a lottery pick' and that's what it was," Williams, who was picked seventh overall by the Sacramento Kings in 1992, recalled Thursday.
