After one season at UCLA, Kevon Looney is headed for the NBA.  The University made the announcement on Monday.

The former Milwaukee Hamilton High School star averaged 11.6 points and a team-high 9.2 rebounds as a freshman at UCLA this past season.  His 15 double-doubles were tops among freshmen nationally.  He earned second-team all-Pac-12 honors.

“This was a really tough decision for me because there were so many positives both ways,” Looney said.  “My time at UCLA has been unbelievable, and I know I’ll be a Bruin forever.  But playing in the NBA is a dream I’ve had for so long, and this feels like the right time to pursue that dream.”
