COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Texas A&M freshman standout Robert Williams says he is returning for another season in college.
The 6-foot-9 Williams, projected by many to be a lottery pick in June’s NBA draft, averaged 11.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game this season for the Aggies (16-15).
Williams says the decision will give him “more time to mature and develop my game before moving on to the NBA.”
