Florida Gators point guard Andrew Nembhard is leaving Gainesville after one season.

He announced on Twitter that he’s entering the 2019 NBA Draft.

“Playing in the NBA has been a lifelong dream of mine, and I know I have a unique opportunity to fulfill this dream,” Nembhard wrote in a captioned photo posted to Twitter announcing his NBA Draft intentions.

The 6-foot-5, 191-pound guard, a Canadian native who played high school basketball at Montverde Academy near Orlando, was an SEC All-Freshman selection.
