Rest easy, Catamount faithful, Anthony Lamb is coming back for his senior year.

The University of Vermont men's basketball star has officially withdrawn his name from the NBA Draft and will return for his final season as a Catamount, coach John Becker told the Burlington Free Press on Monday morning.

Lamb received workout invites from the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, Becker said. Lamb had until May 29 to withdraw from the draft and retain his NCAA eligibility. This year's draft is slated for June 20.

Later Monday, Lamb announced his intentions to return in a statement through the UVM athletic department.

“I’m excited to announce that I’ll be returning to Vermont for my senior season. I’d like to thank all of the NBA teams that brought me in for an evaluation. It was a fantastic learning experience," Lamb said. "However, I’ll be withdrawing my name from the 2019 NBA Draft and focusing on helping Vermont return to the NCAA Tournament..."

The 6-foot-6 Lamb averaged 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks a game this past winter, leading the Catamounts to a 27-7 record and their seventh NCAA Tournament appearance.

Lamb was voted the unanimous America East Conference player of the year and earned the most outstanding player award for the league playoffs, the latter for the second time in his career. The Rochester, New York, native also became the sixth Catamount to earn an Associated Press All-America Honorable Mention.
