If Gordon Hayward was to take his name out of the NBA Draft before May 8, it would be a mistake. 

The 6'9" sophomore from Butler may have surprised some when he declared for the NBA Draft last Wednesday, but he also did not rule out the possibility of coming back to Butler next year.

Hayward averaged 15.5 PPG on his way to winning the Horizon League Player of the Year (for whatever that's worth), but the NCAA Tournament is where he really burst on to the national scene, leading his team on an improbable run all the way to the title game.

At times he looked great, scoring 22 points on Kansas State to put his team in the final four.
