“What a ride it’s been. My couple years at UCLA were a couple years I’ll never forget. Last year’s run to the Final Four, and this year’s electric season and atmosphere in Pauley Pavilion, were so much fun to be a part of.
“Growing up in Los Angeles to then doing Los Angeles proud is more than a kid could ask for. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for so much love and support. I’ll forever be a Bruin and we’ll all remember the great moments we had. I’m going to continue to represent UCLA and the city of Los Angeles professionally now, as I am entering the 2022 NBA Draft.
“Thank you to the coaching staff, the trainers, the staff, my teammates, and my friends and family for making the experience so beautiful.
“Goodbye from Juzang.”
