Nebraska’s Isaiah Roby has reportedly made a decision on his future.

College basketball insider Jon Rothstein reported on Wednesday that Roby will keep his name in the 2019 NBA Draft. He came to his decision this week and will not return for his final season in Lincoln.

Roby is coming off his best statistical season at the college level, averaging 11.8 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. He also averaged more than one steal and nearly two blocks per contest. All of those numbers are career highs for the forward.

Last season, Roby started in all 35 games for the Cornhuskers and reached double figure scoring totals in 19 games. He was especially good in March, averaging 14.7 points and 6.4 rebounds for the month.

Roby scored a season high 28 points in Nebraska’s first round NIT matchup against Butler. He also finished the year with three double-doubles.
