TyTy Washington is off to the NBA, putting his name in the draft and signing with an agent to officially end his time in Lexington. The freshman guard announced his decision Wednesday afternoon.

“First and foremost, I’d like to thank God for the opportunities He’s provided me and my family,” Washington said. “To Big Blue Nation, I’d like to express my gratitude to all of you for embracing me and my family like your own this past year. From Coach Cal, to everyone involved with Kentucky basketball, I can’t thank you enough for the support.
