Alabama's Braxton Key withdraws from NBA draft

Alabama's leading scorer is heading back to school, as Braxton Key said Tuesday he's withdrawing from the NBA draft to play his sophomore season with the Crimson Tide, according to ESPN's Jeff Goodman.

Key didn't take long to make an impact on the college game, averaging 12 points and 5.7 rebounds in his freshman campaign and earning All-Freshman team honors in the SEC.

With prized recruits Collin Sexton and John Petty joining the Crimson Tide next season, Key's return makes Avery Johnson's program one to keep an eye on in the SEC next season.
