The top three projected draft picks are now complete as Jabari Parker joined Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid and the other draftees who have officially declared for the NBA 2014 Draft.

It was not an easy decision for Parker who really embraced the culture at Duke and vowed to win a title for them.

He writes his own memoir, posted by SI.com. Excerpts below:

"I haven't consulted many people during this process. I talked to my parents, though. They simply said it was my decision and they would stand behind me either way. They just want me to be happy.

Ultimately, I boiled my decision down to two simple questions:

Which environment -- college or the NBA -- offers me the best opportunity to grow as a basketball player?

Which environment -- college or the NBA -- offers me the best opportunity to grow and develop off the court?

The answer to both questions is undeniably the NBA.

There is something else. My father, Sonny, played in the NBA. I know firsthand that the career span of a pro basketball player is finite. The lucky ones play until their mid-30s. With that perspective, I shrink my professional career with each year that I remain in college. It's ironic, but true.

I have lived with great expectations ever since I dunked for the first time at age 14. I take losing very personally because I don't like letting people down. Not fans. Not teammates. Especially not Coach K. That's another reason why this decision has been so tough. I wanted to go out on a winning note."

He also talked about the incoming freshman class at Duke. They have the top recruiting class led by first ranked Jahlil Okafor who is also a Chicago native.

However, the lure of becoming a top three pick is just too strong, and Parker, as most scouts would agree, belongs to the next level more than anyone in this class.

Now, the only big question is which team will be luck enough to pick him
