Give It To Me ... Shelden

Shelden Williams released a statement through Duke's athletic department yesterday that he will not entry the NBA Draft and will return for his senior season.

This is bad news for the Duke haters of the world. Very bad news.

With both Williams and J.J. Redick returning along with everyone else except for Daniel Ewing, the Blue Devils have a powerhouse group coming back. Add to that a sensational trio of freshmen and you have a legit preseason #1 squad. How good the team ends up likely depends on the development of point guard Greg Paulus.

The other ACC teams are fighting for second place next year.
