Kai Jones is leaving Texas for the 2021 NBA Draft and intends to sign with an agent.

"It was truly an honor to represent the Texas Longhorns for the past two seasons and suit up with my brothers night in and night out," Jones said. "... My time here has set me up to be successful as I take the next steps in my career."

Jones is expected to be selected in the later half of the lottery or the middle of the first round.
