Taylor King, who transferred from Duke as a freshman after seeing his playing time cut over the year, has now left the Villanova Wildcats, due to what a source called "personal reasons."
King, a long-range threat throughout his career, averaged 5.5 points per game as a freshman in Durham, but played six or fewer minutes in Duke's final six games of the season, causing his decision to transfer. At Villanova, King became the team's second-leading rebounder and stayed effective behind the arc, shooting 36 percent. He also put up 7.4 points per game while coming off the bench. And, he was laughed at by Nolan Smith during "One Shining Moment."
The troubled, talented player will reportedly stay at the school for classes. His basketball career, though, may be over.
