For the second time since his arrival at UCLA, Cody Riley sought an evaluation of his NBA draft prospects. Riley will come back for his redshirt senior season after withdrawing his name from consideration for the July 29 NBA draft. During the season, Riley averaged 10 points and 5.4 rebounds per game while making 53.8% of his shots, all career highs. At the time, Riley was serving a season-long suspension for a shoplifting incident in China before the team’s season opener. Riley’s return removes some of the lingering mystery surrounding the composition of next season’s roster.
