Hoopsworld is reporting that Willaims' injury is serious and that's why he has turned down workouts.
It's a fully unreliable source that has made up tons of story in the past but maybe they aren't lying this time.
The mock draft on nbadraft.net now has us taking Williams with the 20th pick. http://www.nbadraft.net/2010mock_draft
It seems kind of odd that Williams was projected as a low first rounder, fell out of the mocks after his 'injury,' came back in the mocks to 26, and now is projected to go 20th (all while not working out and not showing up for measurements).
Nbadraft.net's current mock is all over the place. Craig Brackins at 22? Darington Hobson at 53 after the positive workouts he's had? DX has had a down year in terms of draft coverage, but I put far less credence in nbadraft.net's mocks.
I am not surprised by Brackins. He is going to help somebody in the NBA. Last year, he was projected to be a mid 1st rounder, as far as I can remember. He had a bad year this year because teams double team and triple team him. Bit 22 is a reach as well.
Brackins is a solid second round pick, maybe late first if you're looking to fill that kind of role. I see last year as more of a regression to the mean rather than the exception, although the depth of this year's big men does also hurt his stock.
I really like this kid from what I've seen. I was hoping the Spurs might go after a 3, but Williams has a lot of talent. If Splitter comes over to help in the post, adding Williams to the perimeter attack may not be a bad deal.

latest mockdraft has the spurs drafting elli0t williams with the 20th and derrick caracter with 49th
He has dropped to 25 in DX's latest mock.
He didn't drop. He rose, and it shall stay that way. Should probably be DX's final mock. LOL @ Vasquez at 28.He has dropped to 25 in DX's latest mock.
I guess I was thinking he was somewhere in the teens on the last mock. My bad.
There's a link on each DX page for the mock history of the player. Williams has been either 25 or 26 since early April.
He is talking about Craig Brackins.
Actually, since his post is from today, and refers to the "latest" DX mock and player #25, he's talking about Elli0t Williams, who is in that spot. Thanks for continuing to try to hijack this thread into a Brackins one, though, in spite of the fact that he has his own thread.
Ok fine, I am sorry, moderator. Thanks for correcting me. I will never offend you again.
Yeah, I saw that. It was just a brain fart. For some reason I had it in my mind that he was going before we picked.
You're forgiven.
The latest on Williams injury per DX twitter was that the injury was legit and Williams has had his first workout since the injury yesterday for Houston.
It's hard to know if an info is legit or if it's some kind of smokescreen but the theory that Williams had a promise from Spurs and faked an injury doesn't look solid.
The Mystery of Elli0t Williams
By Chad Ford
When Memphis point guard Elli0t Williams didn't show up at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, the rumors began swirling.
Has a team already promised to draft him? Or is there another issue? According to one rumor in circulation, a knee injury Williams suffered in a Spurs workout just before the combine might be more serious than first believed.
I spoke with Williams' agent Thad Foucher today in an attempt to get to the bottom of this. With so little information out there, most of the teams are working on rumor and innuendo at the moment.
Foucher said both the prevailing rumors were untrue, saying there is no promise and no serious injury.
Foucher described the Williams injury in San Antonio as a knee-to-knee collision and said that it wouldn't require surgery. According to Foucher, Williams has been rehabbing in Los Angeles for the past few weeks and recently began working out again. Foucher said he didn't know exactly when Williams would be totally healthy, but he expects that he'll be ready by the Summer League in mid-July.
According to Foucher, Williams has worked out recently for Portland, Boston and Houston. Foucher said that Williams just completed a physical and that he was sending the results to all 30 teams in the league prior to the draft.
While all of this could certainly be "agent spin" by Foucher, these are the clearest statements we've received on Williams so far.
"Recently worked out by Portland"...
you, Pritchard.
