Aaron Henry has withdrawn from the 2020 NBA Draft and will return to Michigan State.

"This decision was based off wanting to maximize my opportunity to be coached by the best coach in the game in Tom Izzo and reach my dreams and full potential," Henry told ESPN. "I wanted to put myself in the best situation possible and not rush anything to make sure I start my career on the right foot. This was a tough decision, but year three will be the year."

Henry was ranked the No. 55 prospect in the ESPN 100. Henry has potential as a two-way wing.
