WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., April 19 (UPI) -- Wake Forest junior center Eric Williams is expected to skip his final season of college eligibility and enter the NBA Draft.

The News and Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday that Williams will not hire an agent to leave open the possibility that he could return to school.

Williams has said he will likely stay in the draft if he feels he will be selected in the first round.

The early entry withdrawal deadline is June 21, 2005, which is one week before the draft takes place.

Williams averaged 16.1 points and 7.7 rebounds this year.
