Both Iowa and Iowa State will retain basketball stars who were taking a look at the NBA draft.
Iowa forward Tyler Cook will withdraw his name from NBA Draft consideration and return to the Hawkeyes for his junior season. Cook’s return means the Hawkeyes will have their best player back after a trying 2017-18 season. Cook averaged 15.3 points and 6.8 rebounds as Iowa finished 14-19.
Iowa State guard Lindell Wigginton says he is withdrawing from NBA draft consideration and returning to school for his sophomore season. Wigginton averaged 16.7 points as a freshman, pairing with fellow newcomer Cameron Lard to give the Cyclones a pair of young cornerstone players in what was a rebuilding season.
