Duke freshman forward RJ Barrett has declared for the 2019 NBA draft.

Barrett, the projected No. 3 pick by The Crossover's Jeremy Woo, announced his decision to leave the Blue Devils on Wednesday in a video shared on Twitter.

"I just wanted to thank everyone for all the love and support you've given us all season," Barrett said. "We had a great year. We're ACC champs and it was amazing to play for Coach K [and] play for the brotherhood. It was a dream of mine to play at Duke ever since I was a young kid.
