    Colby goes #19 to Golden State in this latest mock.

    "Xavier’s Colby Jones is one of the most well-rounded, versatile prospects in this draft class. During a recent victory over Providence, he finished with 29 points while missing just one field goal attempt from the floor. Jones had zero turnovers in the game as well. Every team in the league could use a guy like this."
    We need to repopulate the league with more X-Men!!!

    Take away his one awful game vs Nova, and he's right there.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    I went from “he should go if he is projected 1st round” to “I know they say he’s first round but there’s no chance. At least he will be back” to “he’s gone”.

    These last few games he’s been on a different level. It’s a better version of the guy who stepped up after Scruggs got hurt last year (NIT). Guards run March. It’s why he and boum can take us far.

    Odd post when they guy has shot the three well all year. His stroke is pretty good and when he gets the feet set it always looks like it’s going down. A major reason he is now projected to go first round is because of how well he has shot the three this year.

    I am of the well-formed opinion that the best way for Colby Jones to get drafted in the first round of the NBA is to win a Big East Championship and several more games in March (six is the number that comes to mind).

    This current version of Jones is an NBA player. 1st rounder? I’m still not sure, but with every good to great game that he plays he moves more that way in my mind. If he can continue to play this way for at least 3-4 more games he may well cement his place there.

    It is statement time for Mr. Jones.
