Great news to share for the Commodores as the team’s leading scorer is returning for another season on the hardwood.
Scotty Pippen Jr. had been testing the waters when it comes to the 2021 NBA Draft but the rising junior just announced he plans on returning to school for another season to play for Jerry Stackhouse.
Last season, Pippen averaged 20.8 points per game, 4.9 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game for Vanderbilt. He also set Vanderbilt’s single-season scoring record during his sophomore season.
With Pippen back for another season, it’s hard to see anything but the start of a big turnaround for Stackhouse’s Vanderbilt program starting next season.
This guy is back.
Scotty Pippen Jr. scored or assisted on 40% of Vanderbilt's field goals last season and set a school record for points per game for a sophomore (20.8).
