KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee standout Santiago Vescovi announced on Friday that he will withdraw from the NBA Draft and return to the Vols this season.
Vescovi averaged 13.3 points as a junior in 2021-22, along with 4.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists.
He was named to the 2022 SEC All-Tournament Team and was a 2022 All-SEC First Team coaches' selection.
The Uruguay native proved to be one of Tennessee's most reliable shooters throughout the 2021-22 season. He shot over 40% from the three-point range and drained 102 triples, which was the fourth-most three-pointers made by a Vol in a single season.
Vescovi declared for the NBA Draft on March 26 but stressed that he was going to be "maintaining his collegiate eligibility" in his announcement.
