OCTOBER 16: The Nets have waived Jones, the team announced today, putting him on track to report to Long Island this fall.
OCTOBER 15: The Nets have signed wing K.J. Jones to an Exhibit 10 contract, according to the RealGM transactions log.
Brooklyn’s agreement with Jones was first reported in late June, shortly after the draft. He appeared in one Las Vegas Summer League game for Brooklyn.
Jones played his college ball at Division II Emmanuel University in Georgia, where he averaged 26.2 points per game in back-to-back seasons. He scored more than 3,600 total points over the course of his five-year collegiate career and posted a shooting line of .482/.371/.868 across those five seasons, also logging career averages of 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.6 steals per contest.
Jones was the only Division II prospect to receive an invitation to the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament this spring.
Jones will likely be waived and then join the G League’s Long Island Nets. He would be eligible for a bonus up to $77.5K if he stays with the G League team for at least 60 days.

I’m rooting for you
