That youth movement that is about to take over the Colorado men's basketball program still will be able to lean on the Buffaloes' top returning scorer and rebounder.

As expected, George King will return to CU for his fifth-year senior season in 2017-18. Though well off the radar on most draft prognostications, King nonetheless declared for the NBA draft without hiring an agent. King is expected to withdraw his name from the draft pool by the May 24 deadline.

King is coming off a season in which his scoring numbers and shooting percentage fell, yet he emerged as the Buffs' leading rebounder.
