Longhorns Kai Jones, Greg Brown in latest ESPN.com NBA Mock Draft The former Texas forwards were both first-round picks, with each landing in a place that could use their skill set to improve depth in the frontcourt Author: May 25, 2021 Texas Longhorns forwards Kai Jones and Greg Brown were included in the first round of the latest ESPN.com 2021 NBA Mock Draft, released after the NBA Lottery Draft field was set. Neither Jones nor Brown were lottery picks in this mock. Jones, a sophomore who declared for the draft shortly after the Longhorns lost to Abilene Christian in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, went No. 19 overall to the Memphis Grizzlies. The mock’s author, Jonathan Givony, notes that Jones’ ‘explosiveness and versatility in the front court’ would ‘shore up their (the Grizzlies) depth.’
