Duke freshman Jabari Parker declares for NBA draft

After much anticipation, Jabari Parker made an announcement delivering the news that had been expected since before he arrived on campus: He is entering the NBA Draft.

Parker, the National Freshman of the Year, will forego his final three years of eligibility at Duke and start his NBA career at 19. He is projected to be a top-3 pick, which would come with minimum earnings of approximately $11.6 million in his first three seasons.
