Basketball Jaden Jones to the NBA Draft

[rubjk]

What talk?
You keep repeating this.
Maybe I missed it.

Also, yes you can hire an agent.

Yup I was wrong and corrected myself twice above.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

He's gone... OREGONe!

Just kidding. I have no idea what the kid is thinking.

 

[rubjk]

His father thinks he’s a first rounder. I don’t know but if he was that good why wasn’t he averaging 15-20 ppg instead riding the bunch the last month?

Someone is in for a big surprise.

 

[RU MAN]

All I know is I hope for his sake he didn't hire an agent and is just fishing.

 

[MadRU]

Read above responses, he can hire an NCAA approved agent and still return to college and play.

Thanks. I didn't know that. That must be new. Anyway, the kid is dreaming if he thinks he's ready for the NBA.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

He will be a low first-rounder!

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

I think the strength and conditioning coach advised him to declare

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Based on the reasoning of some here, it would be in the interest of every college baller - even Palmquist -to declare for the "free look" lol

 

[Yeah Baby]

So many morons all in one thread. Let it play out and stop trashing a kid who has skills we can all only dream of. He may be back. He may go elsewhere. Let it play out.

 

[needmorecowbell]

At minimum he’s getting evaluated. I hope he comes back. No reason to criticize him.

And now one more

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

I think the strength and conditioning coach advised him to declare

He also screamed it to Boroski from the bench.

 

[rubjk]

We aren’t trashing him, it’s the adults around him who think he’s a first rounder.

 

[Perricone7]

The slowed down highlight tape tells the story here. The fact he would even consider this is alarming.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Some recruitment gem.

Yeah. Yet another.

 

[bitnez]

He closed the book on RU. Talking about him possibly coming back is laughable. Time to move on.

Yeah. now begins the difficult task of finding someone who can replace what Jones brought to the team.

 

[pigmasty83]

Yeah. now begins the difficult task of finding someone who can replace what Jones brought to the team.

What jones was SUPPOSED to bring to the team. Or what we HOPED he would bring to the team.

 

[Danprusa_4]

Yeah. now begins the difficult task of finding someone who can replace what Jones brought to the team.

Just another bench warmer we’re good at replacing those lol

 

[willisneverrana43]

I think the strength and conditioning coach advised him to declare

May have been the only time that the two talked.

 

[RU to the Core]

Why do you need to declare for the NBA draft to find out if your NBA ready? Can you just ask people who evaluate those kind of things. What’s so special about declaring for the draft. Also I thought this was a joke or a parodywhen I first saw the thread

 

[NY AGENTMAN]

Just saying that I have a better chance to make the NBA than Jones so something else must be going on

 

[RUJMM78]

Just another bench warmer we’re good at replacing those lol

I like your sense of humor.All this attention for a player that rarely stepped on the court is rather ridiculous.

 

[Danprusa_4]

Very. But wish him the best regardless

 

[REDRICH65]

Wish him well at Rider or McDonalds

 

[IMARUFAN]

Who the heck is Jaden Jones and what team does he play for? Never heard of him.

 

[Duff366]

Wish him well at Rider or McDonalds

Grow the f up

 

[RU82]

Note to kids:

If you can’t get off the bench on a middling high major college basketball team then you aren’t going to get a sniff from the NBA.

 

[RUBlackout]

I would have thought we would hear from RHJ or Caleb before anyone else declaring their pro options.. Truly hope he gets some good advice from NBA scouts in helping him make a very informed decision

 

[Pils86]

Will the NBA even evaluate him? If so, on what?

 

[Danprusa_4]

Grow the f up

Come on Duff. Laugh a little.

This kid has been a known commodity since he was 10






6 games at DasCHE HS in Texas, Sr year Nov and Dec 2020, 29pt 7reb, 17pts 5reb, 29pts 12reb, 26pt 13reb, 37pts 8reb, and 25pts, shot 2pt 58-76 76%, 3 pt range 12-32 38%, averaged 1.5 steals in 6 games before he enrolled early Jan 2021. And that was when he was 6'7 195, he's 6'8 or 6'9 220 now.

Players are scouted years before college.
Predictions for the top of the 2023 NBA draft (graduating HS seniors:incoming freshman) are already out.

Jones (and Clif) have the look of an NBA player. As said, he’s 6’8” 220 - that is NBA wing size.
Obviously the skill set matters too.

But how old is he?
This is why freshman get drafted over seniors.
Project Jones in 3 years under full-time NBA coaching and development.
Upperclassmen generally have less projection because they already “wasted” those 3 years in college.

 

[OldManRiver1]

If he didn’t enroll in classes this Spring or isnt going, it’s going to be hard for him to be eligible.

If that’s true, and I don’t know if it is, he has no choice. He’s out of college sports until at least the next semester. And he will likely need summer school.

Isn’t there a college rule that if he wasn’t enrolled he could not be on the bench?

 

[Scarlet83]

I’d like to announce that I also am declaring for the NBA draft. I’d like to thank all my colleagues at work and all of you for your support. Please respect my decision.

Need an agent?

 

[Scarlet83]

Let's not jump to conclusions and let it play out.

You must be new here. Welcome to the board. Lol!

 

[Scangg]

Hopefully he just tests the waters and comes back. He's not getting drafted. Earn a starting spot and crush it.

If he does look to transfer, I wonder how much interest he would get and from what level of schools. A lot of potential and great height and length but very minimal production
