"For all that I have achieved, I will always love the Tar Heels team and my university, but I think that after achieving so many things, it is time to leave."
"I plan to finish my university course later while playing in the NBA, and this season almost all of my teammates left the team, Okulaja, Cota and many others are still going on, but I think this is the right time for me to leave."
"I want to play on the best NBA teams against the best players in the world to learn a lot from them in the years to come and have more challenges as a player so that I can continue to improve."
"The university players are great, but I want to play against the best players and be one of the best players in the future who knows, only the future will say if I can become an NBA star or I will regret not staying 4 years on the Tar Heels team."
