Jakob Poeltl has declared for the 2016 NBA Draft and will hire an agent, leaving Utah after his sophomore season.

Poeltl is projected as a top-10 pick this June by Draft Express (No. 8) and ESPN (No. 10).

"I'm not sure if I want to leave — I want to do both, even though it's not possible," he said. "I had such a good time here with everybody involved, that's what made it hard on me. But at the end of the day, it was the decision I had and wanted to make to move on with my basketball career."
