10 most impactful college players to withdraw from NBA draft
4. Tristen Newton, G, UConn
After the Huskies won the NCAA championship, four key members of the team entered their names into the NBA draft. Among them, only Newton will return to Storrs, Connecticut. The starting point guard played a crucial role for the championship team, averaging 10.1 points, 4.7 assists and 4.5 rebounds including putting up a game-high 19 points with 10 rebounds in the national championship game.
With his standout final performance last year, Newton could build off his senior season as a redshirt senior this year. Newton will have plenty of pressure to perform as the Huskies look to him for leadership as they aim to defend their national title.
