Jones hails from Marquette and is coming off a stellar season.

The San Antonio Spurs dealt the rights to the 38th pick to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. With that selection, Indiana added a highly decorated collegiate standout in Jones, who capped off his senior campaign as a Consensus Second Team All-American and a unanimous All-Big East First Team selection.

In 2024-25, Jones averaged 19.2 points and 5.9 assists per game — the latter ranking among the best in the country. Impressively, he was a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award in just his first full season as a point guard. He wrapped up his Marquette career second all-time in scoring with 2,044 points.

Jones now becomes the sixth active Marquette product in the NBA, continuing the program’s strong presence at the next level.
