“Since I can remember, having the chance to play in the National Basketball Association has been my dream,” Jones wrote. “Growing up in the Bahamas, not many of my peers have had the opportunity that I have in front of me now, the ability to achieve those dreams. And for that I want to thank my family, especially my mom and dad, for providing me the opportunity to be in the position I am today.
“… With that being said, I will be declaring for the 2021 NBA Draft! I will be relinquishing my college eligibility and and intend to sign with an agent.”
Jones, 20, is ranked just outside the lottery in the latest look at the top 100 draft prospects by Jonathan Givony of ESPN. Jones is listed as 16th overall and third among power forwards.
