North Carolina Tar Heels guard Joel Berry II announced Tuesday he will return to school for the 2017-18 season.

"After speaking to my family I have decided to withdraw from the 2017 draft and will return to Carolina next season," he said in a statement on the school's official site. "I know I can continue to improve my game and be better prepared for the NBA after another year playing against the best college competition in the country. There's no reason to rush leaving school.
