Will Clyburn, who led Utah in scoring and rebounding last season, asked for his release after coach Jim Boylen was fired following the season.

Clyburn averaged 17.1 points and 7.8 rebounds this past season.

"I made that decision long before finding out who the new coach would be," Clyburn said in a statement. "Coach [Krystkowiak] said he had my best interests in mind and if I felt it was right for me to leave, he would honor that. He also said if I decide Utah is still the best place for me that he would allow me to stay, and I really appreciate that."
