Another day, another high-level guard option becoming available for the Kentucky basketball program.
Coastal Carolina grad transfer DeVante’ Jones, the 2021 Sun Belt Player of the Year, officially put his name in the transfer portal on Tuesday morning. The 6-foot-1 guard, who averaged a career-high 19.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game and shot 49% from the field and 37% from three in 2020-21, previously earned second-team All-Sun Belt and Freshman of the Year honors in his first two seasons as a Chanticleer.
Jones is expected to test the NBA Draft waters, but if he decides to return to college, the former Coastal Carolina standout is expected to be one of the top available guard prospects on the market.
