Devonte Green, Justin Smith and Al Durham Jr. are returning after going through the NBA pre-draft process, Indiana confirmed Wednesday morning.
Green will be a senior this upcoming season, while Smith and Durham will be juniors. Their decisions, which come the day of the NCAA deadline for underclassmen to withdraw their names, leave IU with two open scholarships heading into the 2019-20 campaign.
The trio joined Romeo Langford as underclassmen Hoosiers who entered their names into consideration for this summer's NBA Draft. Langford officially announced he would remain in the draft on Monday.
For the Hoosiers, the decisions of Green and Durham mean they return their third- and fourth-leading scorers respectively from last season. Green averaged 9.4 points in 25.2 minutes per game while coming off the bench in 19 of the 28 games he appeared in. Durham averaged 8.3 points in 28.8 minutes per game while starting in 30 of the 34 games he played in.
Both players also shot better than 40 percent from the field and finished as the top two 3-point shooters on the team among those who played a minimum of 20 games. Green was first at 41 percent, while Durham was second at 34.8.
Smith, meanwhile, was IU's third-leading rebounder with 156 total. His 15 blocks ranked fourth among all IU players last year.
