WSU’s CJ Elleby goes for a shot against Santa Clara during the game at the Spokane Arena on Saturday, Dec. 29, 2018. (Kathy Plonka / The Spokesman-Review)PULLMAN – CJ Elleby got a small taste of the NBA, but the Washington State forward will wait at least one more year to pursue professional basketball full-time.
Elleby exercised his option as an underclassman to test the NBA Draft waters and worked out with six different pro teams over the last few months, but the Cougars’ leading returning scorer and rebounder has opted to come back to school for his sophomore season, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported Tuesday morning.
