In the 2015-2016 season the Aggies used a trio of senior leaders to fight their way to a Sweet 16 appearance. Those three seniors, Jalen Jones, Alex Caruso and Danuel House all left the Texas A&M basketball program with NBA dreams. Now all three of them have earned a contract with an NBA team.
Jones was the latest to sign his deal. On Wednesday the New Orleans Pelicans announced they were signing Jones to a two-way contract. For those unfamiliar, a two-way contract enables the team to call Jones up and send him back down from the D-League as the season progresses.
