We sent Andrew Houghton to Ogden in February to profile Dillon Jones.

The story quickly morphed into one as much about the man as the places that made him and the reasons he stayed in the Big Sky.

“Jones made himself into an NBA prospect. Then he returned to Weber State. Now, he could be a true one of one: the ONLY American mid-major prospect to get drafted into the league.”
