Xavier's Colby Jones drafted in second round, reportedly traded to Sacramento Kings

Colby Jones, who played the past three seasons for the Xavier University Musketeers, was selected by the Boston Celtics in a proposed trade with the Charlotte Hornets in the second round with the 34th overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft on Thursday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The Celtics reportedly are sending Jones to the Sacramento Kings, a team Joey Votto compared earlier this week to the young Reds.

Jones, who turned 21 in May, declared for the 2023 NBA draft in late March.
