Wolfpack leading scorer Brandon Costner has chosen not to return to the Wolfpack for the 2009-2010 season, head coach Sidney Lowe announced Monday afternoon. According to Lowe, Costner will graduate and enter the NBA draft, forgoing his final year of eligibility with the Pack. Guard Trevor Ferguson has also opted to graduate and will not return next year. Costner, a redshirt junior, led the team in points this season and was in the top five in almost every major statistical category during his tenure with the Wolfpack. Costner sat out most of the 2005-2006 season with a stress fracture, but during his 2006-2007 breakout season, he was named to the ACC All-Freshman team and was also a third-team All-ACC selection. He became the seventh rookie in ACC history to lead his team in both scoring (16.8) and rebounding (7.3.) Costner played in 110 career games with 84 starts, averaging 12.6 points and 5.9 rebounds during his time in Raleigh. In 2008-09, Costner led the Pack in scoring (13.6) and was second in both rebounding (6.1) and in assists (71). Ferguson transferred to N.C. State after signing a letter of intent with Pittsburgh and also sat out the 2005-06 season. Ferguson played 52 career games, including eight starts. All eight occurred during the 2008-2009 season, but Ferguson found himself on the bench for much of the later season. Ferguson averaged 3.7 points and 15.5 minutes per game, hitting 37.4 percent of his career three-point attempts. Costner will earn a degree in communications in May, while Ferguson plans to complete his degree in science, technology and society during the summer. The Pack will lose Costner, Ferguson, and graduating seniors Ben McCauley and Courtney Fells for 2009-2010.
