Collin Sexton has declared for the 2018 NBA Draft.

“Growing up, you always want to make it to the NBA,” Sexton said, “that’s everybody’s goal, to make it to the NBA.”

Sexton is the first player to leave Alabama for the NBA after one season since the 2005 inception of the one-and-done rule.

“Not right now, we’re going through the process on to the final one, but soon,” Sexton said of hiring an agent.

Sexton is expected to be a lottery pick.
