ASU Basketball: Marcus Bagley withdraws from NBA Draft, returning to Tempe

Much has been written this offseason about players and coaches departing the Arizona State men’s basketball program.

How about a story on someone coming back?

Marcus Bagley, arguably the Sun Devils’ most complete player when he was healthy last season, withdrew from the NBA Draft, and then subsequently stated he would return to Tempe in two social media posts made Wednesday.

His freshman season was stunted by injuries. Bagley played in only 12 of the team’s 25 contests. But when he was on the court, he showed flashes of the all-around game that made him one of the highest-rated recruits in Sun Devil basketball history.
