Mississippi State guard Josh Hubbard has withdrawn his name for next month’s 2025 NBA draft, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports (Twitter link).
Rothstein reports that the 5-foot-10 sophomore is slated to return to the college ranks in 2025-26, after all. A two-time All-SEC honoree, Rothstein observes that the 20-year-old has a shot at earning All-American honors next year.
Hubbard initially declared for the draft while maintaining his NCAA eligibility last month. He is not on ESPN’s current big board of this year’s top 100 league prospects.
In 34 healthy bouts for the Bulldogs last season — all starts — Hubbard averaged 18.9 PPG, 3.1 APG, 2.1 RPG and 0.9 SPG. He also notched shooting splits of .402/.345/.878.
