Perry Jones III is averaging 4.5 points on 28.6 percent shooting in two NCAA tourney games.
“Sometimes my shot is not falling and I shy away from shooting the ball,” Jones said. “If my shot’s not falling, I’d rather go 1 for 7 then 1 for 20-something.”
Jones isn’t concerned with his NBA draft stock.
“It doesn’t create pressure because I haven’t been thinking about it,” Jones said. “The last thing I’ve been thinking about is the NBA. I’ve just been trying to get my team to a national championship. I know if I worry about the NBA, then everything will turn around, and it will just be worse. Just don’t worry about it. Just need to focus on the games I’m playing right now.”
