Visions of where Duke basketball freshman Tre Jones will be in the fall remain murky. But what remains clear is that R.J. Hampton is watching for an announcement — the deadline to declare for the 2019 NBA Draft is April 21 — from the projected mid-to-late first-rounder.
Hampton, a 6-foot-4, 170-pound combo guard from Little Elm, Texas, is only a high school junior but has long hinted at reclassifying. And according to a tweet from FloHoops’ Adam Zagoria on Saturday, Hampton’s dad said the family has still not at all ruled out the possibility of the already 18-year-old joining the 2019 class.
