“I’m on campus right now. I’m with the team. We’re all thinking about you. We all cheered for you. We’re all rooting for you. Congratulations on getting drafted tonight,” Wade said. “Your dreams are starting to become true. There’s more work to do, but congratulations on where you’re at. It’s a start.”
Jones, a 23-year-old senior, ended his college career as one of the most dynamic scorers in the Big East. He averaged 19.2 points and 5.9 assists per game in his final season. His 2,044 total points rank second all-time at Marquette, showing the impact he left behind. While his three-point shooting dipped to 31.1% this season, he still finished his career at 36.6% over four years. Indeed, it was the evidence of his deep-range potential.
But beyond scoring, Jones brings NBA-ready skills with solid size and high-level playmaking. The Pacers finalized a trade with the San Antonio Spurs to secure his draft rights. Now, he joined the team that lost their 2025 NBA championship to OKC Thunder by a thin margin.
