Report: Avery Anderson Expected to Withdraw from NBA Draft Pool

It looks as if the Cowboys’ leading scorer from last season will return for his senior year.

Oklahoma State guard Avery Anderson is expected to withdraw from the NBA Draft process, according to Jeff Goodman. Under NCAA rules, Anderson must withdraw before Wednesday to retain his college eligibility. Anderson averaged 12.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists a game last season.

It’s the second straight year that Anderson has tested professional waters. His name appeared in the NBA’s initial release of the draft pool alongside 282 other players. There was no harm in doing it, as Anderson was able to get a view of what NBA scouts thought of his game and what he needs to improve upon to stick at the next level.
