Star forward Drew Timme and wing Julian Strawther will drop out of the NBA draft and head back to the Gonzaga basketball team next season. Also, guard Rasir Bolton said he would be returning to the Bulldogs, dropping out of the NBA draft. The reigning West Coast Conference player of the year is Timme who led the Zags with an average of 18.4 points per game last season with 6.8 rebounds per game.
It is expected that center Chet Holmgren, and guard Andrew Nembhard might remain in the draft. Bolton will be returning to Gonzaga who joined the Zags last season. The Bulldogs advance to their 23rd consecutive NCAA Tournament with the help of Timme, Strawther, and Bolton.
