Kyle Washington told The Wolfpacker that he's leaving the NC State basketball program. Washington had been rumored to be on the way out for some time now, and unfortunately all of that speculation has proven true. His departure leaves the Wolfpack with a frontcourt of Lennard Freeman, Abdul-Malik Abu, and BeeJay Anya.
Washington started every game for State between Dec. 17 and Feb. 11--a span of 15 games--but saw his minutes dwindle down the stretch as Abu emerged as a more reliable player in the paint. Washington logged double-digit minutes only three times over the last 11 games, and twice didn't see the court at all.
