you think that his stock would be up to #9??

I don't think so ... maybe into the late 20's at best.

Agreed. Weak draft and all, he's still a slow 6'10 plodder in a small ball league. Definitely worth a late first round pick if he was in it.

From the time he was selected in the middle of the second round to now......He hasn't done much to warrant a high #9 pick. I don't think his value has increased that much, due to his lack of playing time in a AAA league....The potential is still high, and he could be a nice old school low post player, which is always needed! But he's still a late first early 2nd round player, with a high risk high reward label.

Willy to me seems like a kid that is ahead of the curve IQ wise and only loses ranking points because he's not an explosive athlete. Skills wise I think he's got NBA level skills and strength. Scola is a good comparison. Willy is physical like that.
