McKinley Wright IV pulls out of NBA draft, returns to CU for senior season

Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball was given a huge boost going into the 2020-21 season as rising senior guard McKinley Wright IV announced his return to CU for his final season. Wright had entered the NBA draft to test the waters, but made the decision to pull out.

“We got unfinished business,” said Wright on a Zoom call this past week. “We have a lot of seniors returning as well as a lot of new guys stepping up into big roles this year. It’s going to be a really fun year.”

Wright felt like he received positive feedback from NBA scouts and was given advice to improve his game.
