The Marquette Golden Eagles this season are 19-6 overall and they have a 10-4 record in Big East Conference play. Marquette is currently the third seed in the conference.
One of the reasons why the Golden Eagles are near the top of the conference this season is because of Kam Jones. In 25 games this season for Marquette, he is averaging 19.2 PPG, 4.4 RPG, and 5.9 APG, and is also shooting 49.1% from the field. Jones is 6’5″ and weighs 200 lbs.
Latest NBA Mock Draft Has the San Antonio Spurs Selecting Marquette Golden Eagles Guard Kam Jones
Gary Parrish of CBS Sports created his latest NBA Mock Draft. With the 15th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Parrish has the San Antonio Spurs (from the Atlanta Hawks) selecting guard Kam Jones from the Marquette Golden Eagles. This would be an interesting selection for the Spurs. Gary Parrish said:
“Jones has long been established as a long-distance threat — but this season has seen him emerge as a real playmaker who is averaging 6.2 assists per game with a better than 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Most juniors who return to college for their senior years barely improve their draft stock, if at all, but Jones has gone from a projected second-round pick to a possible top-20 pick through the first three months of Marquette’s season.”
This season, the Spurs have a 23-28 record in the NBA and are 12th in the Western Conference. San Antonio may not make the playoffs this season, but they could very well be a team that could be back in the playoffs within the next season or two. Kam Jones could be a tremendous fit with the San Antonio Spurs.
Roster
The stars of the San Antonio Spurs roster are Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox. Another player on the roster who will be a factor with this team for the long haul is Stephon Castle. He is a rookie from the UCONN Huskies and Kam Jones for the Marquette Golden Eagles knows a lot about him when they played against each other in Big East Conference play.
Jones could be a good bench player for the Spurs in the NBA. This is the highest Jones has been taking in any mock drafts this year. He could very well be selected in the early teens in the 2025 NBA Draft if NBA scouts like his game a lot.
