Lawson, Ellington, Green withdraw names from the NBA Draft
Posted Jun 17, 2008
Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green are headed back to North Carolina after examining the NBA Draft process and finding it not to their liking. All three withdrew from the draft yesterday and will return to UNC for at least one more season. Each player cited a desire to win the NCAA Tournament championship next season after UNC was eliminated in the Final Four semifinals in April and finished 36-3.
