Kahlil Whitney is declaring for the 2020 NBA Draft and will hire an agent.
"I have decided to declare for the 2020 NBA draft," Whitney told ESPN. "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. #provethemwrong"
Whitney arrived at Kentucky as a projected lottery pick but withdrew from school in January.
Despite struggling to find his footing at the college level, Whitney, the No. 80 NBA draft prospect in the ESPN 100, is still expected to draw second-round interest from NBA teams.
