Former Purdue guard Lance Jones had a pre-draft workout with the NBA's Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. After his workout, he talked about his time in West Lafayette and how Matt Painter prepared him for the next level.
Lance Jones enjoyed a memorable senior season at Purdue, playing a critical role in the team's Big Ten regular season championship and trip to the National Championship game. Now, the former Boilermaker is hoping to get a shot at the NBA level.
"I think it went really well. I feel like me, personally, I competed at a high level along with the other guys, as well," Jones said of his workout in a video posted by the Pacers. Prior to his time at Purdue, Jones spent four seasons at Southern Illinois. While he developed into a tremendous player with the Salukis, he says his time as a Boilermaker prepared him for the next level.
“Being able to go on another historic run, being able to compete in a national championship - it was a surreal feeling.”
