CHAPEL HILL – Wayne Ellington, Danny Green and Ty Lawson will withdraw from the 2008 NBA draft and return to UNC, according to the university.
The trio had entered their names into the NBA Draft pool in April but did not hire agents, leaving open the possibility of returning to school. The deadline to withdraw from the draft was 5:00 p.m.
"After a long and exhaustive process of gathering information and sharing it with these youngsters, I stepped back and asked them to make their own decisions," Williams said in a press release.
"I’m very pleased with their decisions because I get to coach them for another year. I’m also pleased that they went through the process and gained valuable information. It was reassuring that the feedback they got from the NBA teams is the same type of feedback our coaching staff has been giving them.
With a good class coming in,anything less than a Championship should be a failure..
