Tahaad Pettiford withdrawing from NBA draft, returning to Auburn for sophomore season

AUBURN, Ala. (WIAT) — A key contributor to Auburn’s Final Four run last season is withdrawing from the NBA draft and returning to school.

Tahaad Pettiford took to Instagram Wednesday afternoon and announced that he’s returning for his sophomore season. He originally declared for the NBA draft April 7 but maintained his college eligibility to participate in the NBA draft combine to get a feel of his draft stock.

Pettiford came off the bench majority of the season, only making one start. Yet, he played a major role, averaging almost 23 minutes a game to go along with 11.6 points and three assists while shooting 36.6% from behind-the-arc. He recorded multiple 20-point performances, including a 23-point game against Creighton in the Sweet 16.

His role is sure to increase next season as he is the lone player from the 2024-25 team that went to the Final Four and won the SEC regular season championship outright.
