UPDATE: The Washington Post is reporting that Georgetown center Roy Hibbert will withdraw from the NBA draft and stay in school for his senior season. Forward Jeff Green announced that he will stay in the draft.

Getting the 7-foot-2 Hibbert back is huge for Georgetown, but the departure of Green, the Big East Player of the Year, would have made the Hoyas strong favorites to win the national championship Last month Green put his chances of returning to Georgetown at 70 percent.

As draft prospects, both Hibbert and Green were seen as surefire lottery picks. Green will go somewhere in the top 10 this year; Hibbert could move all the way up to first overall next year.
