Auburn guard Bryce Brown will return to school for his senior season after announcing his decision to withdraw from the 2018 NBA draft.
Brown declared for the draft on April 11, but chose not to hire an agent so that he could retain his college eligibility if he withdrew from the process by May 30.
The 6-3 shooting guard led the Tigers in scoring with 15.9 points in 31.2 minutes per game during the 2017-18 season.
Put up the ?-goggles! @Bwb_2 is returning for his senior season with the Tigers.

Brown, who finished tied for eighth in the SEC in scoring along with LSU guard Tremont Waters, shot 38.2 percent from 3-point range and 77.5 percent from the free-throw line.
The Georgia native was one of four Auburn players to declare as early entrants into this year’s draft, with two other players also announcing their intentions for the future on Tuesday.
Austin Wiley, who sat out this past season due to the FBI probe into college basketball, will return to school while leading scorer Mustapha Heron will withdraw from the draft and transfer from the program.
Point guard Jared Harper has yet to announce his decision, but will likely return to school.
Bruce Pearl’s squad finished 26-8 overall and earned a share of the SEC regular season title before advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 15 years.
