LEXINGTON – PJ Washington's Kentucky career is finished.

The sophomore forward announced his intention to enter the NBA draft Tuesday. Unlike a year ago when Washington tested the draft waters only to return to school, he plans to begin his professional career this year.

"It’s been a little over a week since our season ended but it still hasn’t hit me that I’ve played my last game with Kentucky across my chest," Washington said in a video posted to Twitter.
