Julius Randle has decided to declare for the NBA Draft. Congratulations, thank you and good luck, @J30_RANDLE!

Randle made the announcement on Tuesday after originally denying a report from earlier in April suggesting he would declare.
The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 15 points and 10.4 rebounds this season and led the Wildcats to the national championship game.
Randle's Kentucky teammate, James Young, declared for the draft last week.
The deadline for underclassmen to do so is Sunday.
