Jamal Murray Declares for 2016 NBA Draft: Latest Comments and Reaction

As expected, Jamal Murray will leave Kentucky after one season and head to the NBA, the freshman announced on Friday.

Murray said that while he isn't hiring an agent, it is "most likely" he'll remain in the draft, per John Clay of the Lexington Herald-Ledger.

The freshman guard projects to be one of the top picks in the 2016 draft. He may not be able to unseat Ben Simmons, the presumptive No. 1 overall selection, but the top five is a realistic landing zone.

Murray made the most of his time with the Wildcats.
