Wednesday was the deadline for college underclassmen without an agent to either commit to the 2018 NBA Draft or return for another year of NCAA eligibility.
Here are the top 20 prospects heading back to school:
Player | Position | School | 2018-19 class |
---|---|---|---|
Udoka Azubuike | C | Kansas | Junior |
Tyus Battle | G | Syracuse | Junior |
Ky Bowman | G | Boston College | Junior |
Tyler Cook | PF | Iowa | Junior |
Terence Davis | G | Ole Miss | Senior |
Carsen Edwards | G | Purdue | Junior |
Bruno Fernando | F/C | Maryland | Sophomore |
Jarrey Foster | G | SMU | Senior |
Jaylen Hands | G | UCLA | Sophomore |
Sagaba Konate | F/C | West Virginia | Junior |
Charles Matthews | G | Michigan | Junior |
Markis McDuffie | F | Wichita State | Senior |
Shamorie Ponds | G | St. John's | Junior |

None of the returns are surprising. Other top NCAA prospects, like Daniel Gafford and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, never chose to enter their names into the draft pool in the first place.
