Report: CJ Elleby withdraws from NBA Draft to return to WSU
Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports As expected, Washington State Cougars forward CJ Elleby has withdrawn from the NBA Draft, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.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.
