The Texas Longhorns will be without one of the cornerstones of the team next year as Andrew Jones officially announced that he is declaring for the NBA Draft.
Jones joined the Longhorns in 2016 as an elite recruit out of Irving MacArthur High School as the No. 29 player in the country and the No. 5 player in the state. The McDonald’s All-American fit the bill as a true freshman, appearing in all 33 games, including 23 starts, and finished the year averaging nearly 28 minutes per game. For his efforts, he finished the year tied for the team lead in assists, second in steals, and third in scoring.
