Texas Longhorns forward Kai Jones could become the 10th former Texas Longhorns player selected in the lottery during Thursday’s 2021 NBA Draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Forward Greg Brown, guard Matt Coleman, and forward Jericho Sims are also eligible for the draft.
First-round coverage begins at 7 p.m. Central on ESPN and ABC, with second-round coverage available on ESPN.
If Jones comes off the board early, he’ll become the first lottery pick for the Longhorns since center Jaxson Hayes was selected No. 8 by the New Orleans Pelicans in 2019.
