Former Kentucky Wildcats forward Kahlil Whitney is headed to the 2020 NBA draft.

"I have decided to declare for the 2020 NBA draft," Whitney told Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com. "I truly believe in my development and grind. I want to thank my coaches, fans, trainers and family for ongoing support. My journey will be inspiring to kids and athletes all over the globe."

Givony noted Whitney, who will hire an agent as he moves on to the next level, arrived at Kentucky as a highly regarded prospect but withdrew from the school in January.
