Jones says he plans to enter draft

FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas guard Mason Jones, a junior this season, is among 38 college basketball players with eligibility remaining who have announced they're making themselves available for this year's NBA Draft.

Jones, voted by media members as The Associated Press co-SEC player of the year and an honorable mention All-American, posted on his Twitter account Friday that after much discussion he has decided to enter the draft.

Jones, who couldn't be reached for comment, didn't specify in his tweet if he will not sign with an agent -- which would allow him to retain his college eligibility if he withdraws from the draft by the NCAA deadline of June 3 -- or if he plans to stay in the draft.
