In an expected move, South Florida junior guard Dominique Jones has decided to remain in the upcoming NBA Draft, according to Fox Sport’s Jeff Goodman.
South Florida’s Dominique Jones Will Stay In NBA Draft
While Jones may not be a household names, toiling in relative obscurity at South Florida, he was the second-leading scorer in the Big East this past season, averaging 21.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.6 rebounds for the Bulls. Indeed, Jones’ herculean efforts -- he dropped 47 points on Providence in league play -- propelled South Florida to the NCAA bubble, which was a substantial step up for a program accustomed to the basement of the Big East standings.
The 6’4”, 205-pound Jones projects as a combo guard in the pros, with his NBA-ready body, ease at getting to the paint, and solid defense making him a likely late first/early second round pick at this point. Draft Express ranks Jones as the 34th-best prospect in this year’s class with teams yet to begin working prospects out.
