Duke's Tre Jones to enter NBA draft

Duke guard Tre Jones will enter the NBA draft, he told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The sophomore ball-handler led the Blue Devils in assists this season with 6.4 per game. His average of 16.2 points also ranked second on the squad.

Multiple mock drafts project Jones to be a first-round pick, including ESPN's mock, according to Wojnarowski. The Athletic's Sam Vecenie predicts him to go 23rd overall.

Jones was named both the Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in the Atlantic Coast Conference this season. He was also selected to the AP All-America third team on Friday.

The 20-year-old is the younger brother of Memphis Grizzlies point guard Tyus Jones.
