Oregon forward Dillon Brooks will withdraw from the NBA draft and return to school, reports Jeff Goodman of ESPN.

He also recorded 5.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 32.8 minutes per game.
Brooks earned first team All-Pac-12 and AP honorable mention All-American honors, ultimately leading the Ducks to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament.
