UNR was coming off its College Basketball Invitational championship last season, but there wasn’t much time to celebrate.
The Wolf Pack had to wait and see if 6-foot-8-inch forward Cameron Oliver, who just finished his freshman season averaging 13.4 points and 9.1 rebounds, would go pro or return to campus.
“I really wanted to get as much feedback as I could possibly could, see more the business side of how the NBA works and see where I actually stand,” Oliver said.
On May 23, Oliver withdrew his name from consideration for the NBA Draft, and his return is a key reason the Wolf Pack are expected to challenge defending Mountain West defending regular-season champion San Diego State for the title.
