It appears as if Oregon will have leading-scorer Dillon Brooks back next season, as well as standout freshman Tyler Dorsey.

Brooks and Dorsey have withdrawn from the 2016 NBA Draft and will return to the Ducks for their junior season and sophomore seasons respectively, according to a report by ESPN's Jeff Goodman.

After originally declaring for the draft last month, the pair had until Wednesday's midnight deadline to withdraw from the draft since he had not signed with an agent.

Brooks averaged 16.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists last season while shooting 47 percent from the field. He had a successful run during the NCAA tournament, including scoring 25 points in the second round against Saint Joseph's and then 22 in the Sweet 16 win over Duke.

Dorsey was third on the Ducks with 13.4 points per game and added 4.3 rebounds and two assists per contest during his first season in Eugene.

The return of Brooks and Dorsey significantly bolsters the Ducks' roster and should make them favorites in the Pac-12 again next season.
