R.J. Barrett is entering the 2019 NBA Draft
After a week of speculation, R.J. Barrett today declared his plans to enter the 2019 draft. In a video released on his official Twitter account, Barrett explained his decision -- saying:
•
It was a dream of mine to play at Duke ever since I was a young kid. It was also a dream of mine to play NBA and have great success there. After discussing with my family and coaches, I have decided that I will be declaring for the 2019 NBA draft.
The 18-year-old spent his freshman season at Duke, during which he was a unanimous first-team all-ACC selection. The guard averaged 22.6 points along with 7.6 rebounds, forming a dynamic partnership with Zion Williamson -- who himself is expected to be the first pick of the 2019 draft.
