Iowa State’s Lindell Wigginton has tweeted his decision to pull out of the NBA draft and return to school for another season.
“Was a blessing going through the draft process but I have made my decision,” he wrote. “I’m now looking forward to helping lead the Cyclones to a great year and getting us back on the national map! Thanks so much to all of the support from CyclONEnation during this process!”
The 20-year-old guard averaged 16.7/3.7/2.8 as a freshman. He has international experience with Canada, winning a silver medal at the FIBA Americas Under-18 Championship in 2016 and a gold medal at the Under-19 tournament in 2017.
Wigginton is 67th on the list of top 100 prospects compiled by ESPN’s Jonathan Givony and doesn’t appear in his mock draft.
Wigginton’s pre-draft workouts included sessions with the Lakers, Hawks and Suns.
