Arizona was set to lose some serious talent to the NBA Draft this year after Lauri Markannen, Rawle Alkins and Kobi Simmons all declared for the NBA Draft. However, it looks like one of those guys will be back for his sophomore season in Alkins as he has officially withdrawn from the draft.

The 6'5", 220-pound Alkins averaged 10.9 points, 0.9 steals, 2.1 assists and 4.9 rebounds as a bit of a combo guard last season. His size and shooting ability intrigued some scouts though and he backed up with a 37 percent three-point shooting percentage to go with a 46.3 shooting percentage overall from the floor. However, he did not test as well or look as good as he hoped at the NBA Combine so he will be back for at least one more year to get better in Tucson.
