DURHAM, N.C. -- Justise Winslow is entering the NBA Draft after one season at Duke, coach Mike Krzyzewski said Tuesday.
The forward said in a statement issued by the school that "my dreams and aspirations have literally come true" while winning the national title in his only season in college.
He says he believes "it is time to take the next step on my career path and play at the highest level."
Winslow averaged 12.5 points and 6.5 rebounds while helping Duke win its fifth national title.
The announcement came less than a week after the same decision from teammate Jahlil Okafor, the first freshman selected as the Atlantic Coast Conference's player of the year.
And just as Okafor's was, Winslow's choice wasn't much of a surprise.
"He had a sensational year, both on and off the court," Krzyzewski said. "He was an amazing factor for our success in winning the national championship.
