Washington State trio withdraws from NBA Draft

James Snook-USA TODAY Sports

Washington State's roster next season will look very similar to the 2015-16 campaign, as Josh Hawkinson, Conor Clifford, and Ike Iroegbu have all withdrawn from the 2016 NBA Draft.

A school spokesperson confirmed the news that all three players are returning to school to ESPN's Jeff Goodman on Tuesday.

Hawkinson's return is the most significant for the Cougars, as the 6-foot-10 forward was a double-double machine last season. The Washington native led the team with 15.4 rebounds and 11.1 rebounds per contest.

Iroegbu was second on the team in scoring, pouring in 12.7 points per game, while Clifford scored 6.8 points in just 14.1 minutes of action.
