Monte Morris is returning to Iowa State. The point guard announced he will not enter the NBA draft on Friday morning.
“After carefully considering all of my options and speaking with (ISU men’s basketball coach Steve) Prohm and my family, I have decided to return to Iowa State for my senior season,” said Morris in a statement. “Ultimately, it came down to wanting to accomplish a number of things, with earning my degree and continuing my development as a basketball player my top priorities. I want to get stronger and become the best basketball player I can before becoming a professional, and I feel another year at Iowa State can help me do that.
