McNeil had five 20-point games this past season, including in the team's 2nd round loss to Syracuse in the NCAA Tournament where he hit seven three-pointers on his way to 23 points. He finished the season averaging 12.2 points per game and shot 88% from the free-throw line, 40% from the field, and 38% from beyond the arc.

According to most mock drafts, McNeil was not expected to be drafted in this year's draft, making it a wise decision to return for one more year. McNeil has several areas of his game that he needs to improve on to become an NBA-caliber player and returning to school will give him the chance to do so.

McNeil's return will certainly help the Mountaineers contend for a Big 12 title despite the loss of Miles McBride who announced Friday night that he will remain in the draft.
