North Carolina State freshman Omer Yurtseven will withdraw from the NBA draft and return to school, multiple sources told ESPN.
The skilled 7-footer from Turkey came into college with plenty of hype, but struggled this past season while playing for Mark Gottfried, who was fired after the season.
Yurtseven averaged 5.9 points and 4.4 rebounds in 18.9 minutes and was likely to be selected in the latter portion of the second round, according to multiple NBA executives.
Yurtseven will play this season for new coach Kevin Keatts.
