Brandon Ingram has declared for the 2016 NBA Draft.

Ingram is expected to either be the first or second overall pick in the draft.

Ingram made the announcement in a first-person essay on The Players Tribune.

"My time is almost over here in Durham," wrote Today as I declare for the NBA Draft, I’m both excited and sad about this moment.

"On one hand, one year at Duke isn’t a very long time. I know that. But I’ve done a lot of growing, and growing up, in that time. I know by leaving I’ll miss out on a lot of friendships and opportunities. I’ll really miss all the students who showed me so much love. One of my favorite parts of the Duke basketball tradition is the high-five line at the end of home games. The students who camp out for seats for up to a week before a game — and get in their seats two hours early — are always still there after the final buzzer. Win or lose. You guys gave me the energy and support that I needed. I’ll never forget you all."
