Dalen Terry opens up about entering NBA Draft process, what it will take to return to Arizona

Of Arizona’s three NBA Draft entrants, Dalen Terry is the one who could still return to the Wildcats. And it sounds like that’s a real possibility.

“I owe it to myself to be here,” Terry said Thursday at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, per Sports Illustrated’s Kevin Sweeney. “If I can sneak in there and be a sleeper, be a first rounder, that’s what I’ll do. But if not, I’m going to go back to Tommy [Lloyd], we’re going to have a big smile and have a better year.”

Terry declared for the 2022 NBA Draft just like teammates Bennedict Mathurin and Christian Koloko, but by retaining his NCAA eligibility he has the option to withdraw from the draft process by June 1 and return to school.
