Michigan’s basketball season officially ended recently in the NCAA Tournament with a Sweet 16 loss to the Villanova Wildcats. With the end of the season, many of the players on Michigan’s roster took some time to make decisions with regards to their basketball futures. On Saturday afternoon, DeVante’ Jones made an announcement on Twitter with regards to his basketball future. He announced that he will be officially declaring for the 2022 NBA Draft.

The statement reads: “Michigan….

Thank you, this wasn’t the easiest year for me but with the support of the fans, my teammates, the coaching staff, and the hardworking managers, it made my experience here worthwhile. This is a year I will never forget because it taught me that when you get hit you can’t just sit there and complain because nobody will feel sorry for you. I went through so many obstacles and challenges with my brothers. It made us stronger, and we proved the world wrong all year long. I’m grateful for every single last one of you boys. Most importantly, I’m thankful for God for putting me in such a great position to better my basketball career. With that being said, I will be declaring for the 2022 NBA Draft. #12out #Betonyourself —DeVante Jones“

Jones put together some impressive performances late

Jones averaged 10.3 points per game, 4.6 assists per game, and 4.5 rebounds per game this season as a transfer from the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. He put together some of his better performances for the Wolverines later in the 2021-2022 college basketball season. Jones poured in 18 points against the Indiana Hoosiers in the second round of the NCAA Tournament this year. He also stuffed the stat sheet with 21 points, nine assists, and two steals against the Ohio State Buckeyes on March 6.

Now, Jones will be taking his talents to the NBA. It’ll be exciting to see how his career develops in the future.
