Jones signals lean toward the NBA

FAYETTEVILLE -- Mason Jones said Thursday in a radio interview that he expects to keep his name in the NBA Draft and not return to the University of Arkansas for his senior season.

"Right now, I'm just taking it day by day, but there's a good chance that I'm going to stay in the draft and take on bigger challenges," Jones said on The Morning Rush with co-hosts Tommy Craft and Tye Richardson.

Jones, a 6-5 guard, averaged 22.0 points in his junior season under Coach Eric Musselman to become the first Razorback to lead the SEC in scoring.
