As the NCAA's withdrawal deadline approached Wednesday night for players in the NBA Draft pool, the Pac-12 gained back Colorado's Tristan da Silva, UCLA's Adem Bona and Utah's Branden Carlson.
Bruce Pascoe Arizona Daily Star Colorado appeared likely to join Arizona and USC among the leading favorites for the Pac-12 title next season, after versatile Buffaloes forward Tristan da Silva announced he was withdrawing from the NBA Draft.
Along with UA's Pelle Larsson, da Silva was invited to the G League Elite Camp but not the NBA Combine. He told ESPN that"I would rather go back for another year to improve my stock and ... work myself up to being a first-round draft pick instead of settling this year." Meanwhile, Bona's return to UCLA could help the Bruins stay competitive despite losing starters Jaime Jaquez, Tyger Campbell, Jaylen Clark and Amari Bailey early from the team that ran away with last season's regular-season title.
“I say to myself, it’s a good problem to have,” Bona said. “If going back to college is my second option, I think UCLA is a good to have. I see myself in the NBA. It’s my No. 1 goal. I’ve gotten this close, so why turn back around?”
