Report: CJ Elleby withdraws from NBA Draft to return to WSU

As expected, Washington State Cougars forward CJ Elleby has withdrawn from the NBA Draft, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.

Elleby, who will be a sophomore, had an excellent first season by most any measure; he averaged 14.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3 assists on his way to being named to the Pac-12’s all-freshman team and setting WSU’s all-time record for scoring by a freshman. However, after traveling around the country for workouts with NBA teams over the past month, he was never projected by media experts to be selected in June’s draft.
