The NBA Draft withdrawal deadline ended at 11:59 p.m. ET Wednesday night with several college players making their decisions after going through the pre-draft process and getting valuable feedback from teams.
Bronny James, a projected second-round pick, is staying in the 2024 NBA Draft after an underwhelming freshman season at USC but a strong showing at the NBA Draft Combine. But even with this draft class being considered weaker than years past, there were a handful of players that elected to return for one more year of college. Alex Karaban was a top performer at the draft combine and is heading back to Dan Hurley and the two-time national champion UConn Huskies.
