Green leaning toward return to UNC
"I'm going to talk to Coach (Roy Williams) about it, but that's what it's looking like right now," Green told FOXSports.com on Friday afternoon. "I feel like I got what I needed out of this process."
Green, who averaged 11.5 points per game last season, is one of three Tar Heels who declared for the NBA Draft and did not yet sign with an agent.
Green and teammate Wayne Ellington worked out with the San Antonio Spurs today and were en route back to Chapel Hill with a connecting flight in Dallas.
"I'm going to try and call Coach Williams in Dallas and see what feedback he has," Green said.
Green, Ellington and point guard Ty Lawson all played at the Orlando Pre-Draft Camp and each has maintained they would remain in the draft if they felt they would be selected in the first round.
Monday is the deadline for underclassmen withdrawing from the June 26 NBA Draft.
According to several NBA executives, Lawson is the only one of the three that appeared to have played his way into the first round although a recent arrest for underage drinking certainly didn't help his case.
Green battled through numerous injuries and at team workouts.
If all three return to Chapel Hill, there's no question that the Tar Heels will be the prohibitive favorite to win the national title next season.
