CBKB: Will Lawson, Ellington return to UNC? Stay tuned

Associated Press

DETROIT — North Carolina had to wait nearly two months last year to find out whether Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington would stay in the NBA draft or return to school.

Now, with a championship in hand, the waiting begins again for the Tar Heels.

Ellington said it was too soon to say whether he will return for his senior season after being named the most outstanding player at the Final Four. Lawson said the same thing.

"I don't know yet," Lawson said when asked whether it was his last college game. "I'm going to go back and talk to my parents and see what they want to do and see what the best option is for me."

However, freshman big man Ed Davis — who had 11 points and eight rebounds in 14 minutes — said he's coming back.

"I will be back next year," Davis said. "I mean, I'm just not ready. I'll be back in class on Wednesday."
