Malik Newman is withdrawing from the NBA Draft and plans to return to Mississippi State for his sophomore season, his father told SNY.tv Tuesday night.
“Yeah, he’s going back to school,” Horatio Webster said by phone. “He’s going to pull his name out [Wednesday]. As far I know he’s going back to Mississippi State. He still has a scholarshp at Mississippi State. I hope they didn’t give it away.”
Once projected as high as the No. 4 pick by DraftExpress.com, the 6-foot-3 1/2 Newman is currently slotted at No. 52. He has not hired an agent and had until Wednesday to decide about returning to campus.
