Jones is a senior so I'm sure he'll enter the draft as this would be his last chance
isn't expected to be drafted though
would have to really impress in workouts or get signed as a FA

Terps fan here, I'm assuming he'll enter with Strawberry and Ibekwe. Of the 3, I expect DJ will have the best luck being drafted. That last game against UNC really showed what he can do when he puts his mind to it. If I were an NBA team, I might take a look at MJ just because he is a catch-and-shoot kinda guy. However, that hasn't helped JJ Redick this season, and I think MJ is too streaky. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, he can change a game in an instant, but I don't think he's a great college player, and I don't think he'd transfer over well to the NBA. He can't play defense nearly as well as DJ or Ekene. Ekene should get some good looks because he's got good size, even if he is wiry, but last time I checked he lead the ACC in bpg (2.7) and has really improved his work ethic and shooting stroke. I think if Maryland makes a run in the tournament it will up all of their stock; however, I don't think Jones will be drafted, but I think DJ stands a great shot, and Ekene an alright shot.
