Multiple College Players Withdraw from NBA Draft

As the NBA’s draft combine winds down, we’re starting to learn which players on the edge of the second round have chosen to return to school. The NBA allows college students to wait another year and return to the draft, if they withdraw before the deadline.

Among the names expected to be withdrawing:

  • Santa Clara guard Adama Bal, returning for senior year
  • VCU senior Joe Bamisile, returning for last eligible year
  • Arizona guard KJ Lewis, returning for sophomore year

Not every player will withdraw, though.
