Kentucky forward Wenyen Gabriel says he will stay in the NBA Draft.

Gabriel tweeted his decision Wednesday afternoon.

Kentucky tweeted its support for Gabriel, thanking him for his time as a Wildcat.

“Wenyen’s game is where the league continues to trend towards,” UK head coach John Calipari said. “He’s a position-less big man who can shoot, guard multiple positions and is willing to do what it takes to win. Wenyen grew so much from his freshman season to his sophomore year. If he continues to make those same strides, he’s going to carve himself a role with a team. He and I have talked and he knows he’s going to have to work hard to get there, but I’m confident he can.”

The sophomore became a three-point shooting threat late in Kentucky's season, including an SEC Tournament semifinal performance against Alabama where he made all seven of his shots behind the arc.

Gabriel averaged 6.8 points and 5.4 rebounds.
