Tavernari to return to BYU

Jonathan Tavernari announced Wednesday that he has withdrawn his name from the NBA draft after declaring for the draft on April 22.
Tavernari, who averaged 15.7 points last season for the Cougars, did not hire an agent in order to preserve his eligibility for his final season.

“After consulting with my family and coaches I have decided that the best thing for me is to return to school to complete my education and play my senior season,” Tavernari said in a statement. “Next year’s team has a chance to be special. I have great teammates and great coaches and I look forward to being part of the program and competing for a fourth consecutive conference title.”
