Kentucky freshman Tyrese Maxey has declared for the 2020 NBA draft. He announced his decision on Twitter on Monday morning.
"Even though I didn't get a chance to compete for my ultimate goals, this season was everything I signed up for. I know I'm a better player and man for embracing the challenge of playing for Kentucky," Maxey said. "It's time for my next challenge though. My dream has always been to play in the NBA and I know I'm prepared for this because I'm Wildcat made."
Maxey is considered a Top 10 pick in the latest Sports Illustrated mock draft by Jeremy Woo.
