Louisville sophomore Derrick Caracter has withdrawn from the NBA Draft, but he won't play another game for Rick Pitino.

"He's transferring," Pitino confirmed to FOXSports.com.

The 6-foot-8, 270-pound Caracter was considered the top player in the country at a young age, but never fulfilled his potential.

He averaged 8.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game this past season and had been suspended on multiple occasions for his inability to abide by team rules.

Pitino said that Caracter was invited to the Orlando Pre-Draft Camp, but declined the opportunity.
