UNLV's Derrick Jones Jr. declares for draft, will not hire agent

UNLV forward Derrick Jones Jr. has declared for the 2016 NBA Draft, although he will not hire an agent in order to keep his eligibility in tact should he decide to return to school.

Jones' situation is complicated however, as he was disqualified from NCAA competition late in the 2015-16 season due to questions of the legitimacy of his ACT test. Though he is clear to play in the fall of 2016, Jones will at very least consider staying in the draft to avoid further complications. The freshman guard averaged 11.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game through 22 minutes in his first season.
