It’s funny when the season ended, the early word was that Greivis was 95% certain not to be coming back to Maryland. Things change!! According to a terrapintimes.com interview with Coach Williams, the maryland guard would need to be in the top 20 of players selected in the draft, an unlikely scenario. “I think from everything I have seen so far, not that he isn’t good enough to play in the NBA, but I think that if Greivis does come … Read More »
