Mason Jones: Good chance I stay in the draft

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas guard Mason Jones’ decision to declare for the NBA Draft on March 27 was not at all unexpected.

Although he entered his name into the draft, he still owns the option of returning to school. But in a 20-minute radio interview on The Morning Rush on Thursday, Jones said that is not likely to happen.

“Right now I’m just taking it day by day,” he said. “There’s a good chance that I’m going to stay in the draft and just take on bigger challenges. Dealing with God and how everything went this year, I feel like Coach (Eric Musselman) has put me in a good position where I can go out there and continue my journey and continue to show what my worth is.
