Colorado Buffaloes forward Tristan da Silva announced via Instagram on Wednesday that he will return to Boulder for the 2023-24 season. Da Silva tested NBA Draft waters and withdrew his name before this week’s deadline.
The Bavarian will have a long professional career, but this is expected news. He was a borderline top-100 prospect on most expert’s big boards, meaning he was expected to go undrafted if he kept his name in the draft. Perhaps he could have increased his draft stock during the draft combine, but he was not among the 78 attendees in Chicago.
What this means for the Buffs is that they will have their best player back for a season of high expectations.
