"St. Joe's has been absolutely awesome and I'll always love the fans, players, and coaching staff. Coach [Phil] Martelli and his staff have been absolutely great for me but now it's time to start this new chapter. I appreciate all the love and support so much and definitely hope it continues in the future. The NBA has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and now that it's within reach, I plan on taking full advantage of the opportunity."
