Thompkins returning to Georgia

Georgia sophomore forward Trey Thompkins announced today that he will return to the Bulldogs for his junior season instead of entering the NBA Draft.

“Don’t worry, Coach, I’m coming back,” Thompkins told head coach Mark Fox at the Georgia Basketball Tipoff Club’s end-of-season banquet, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Thompkins, a 6-9 forward, averaged 17.7 points and 8.3 rebounds last season, garnering unanimous first-team all-SEC honors. Teammate Travis Leslie has already announced that he will be returning to Georgia next season.
