Jones played college basketball at Northeast Mississippi Community College where he was the Tigers" all-time leading scorer, rebounder, and shot blocker, before transferring to Mississippi State University to finish his college career. Later that year he led Mississippi State to the National Collegiate Athletic Association Men"s Basketball Final Four, picking up a Regional Most Valuable Player honor along the way. He was selected out of Mississippi State University as the 21st pick by the New York Knicks in the 1996 National Basketball Association Draft but was traded, along with Walter McCarty, John Thomas and Scott Brooks to the Celtics in exchange for Chris Mills shortly before the 1997-1998 season began (he had previously taken part in no games in 1996-1997 with the Knicks due to a foot injury).
After his National Basketball Association season, Jones played for the Memphis Houn"Dawgs in the American Bar Association, and in Greece, Turkey, Italy, of Korea and China.
An apostrophe was intentionally placed on the end of his first name by his mother for distinctiveness. As of January 2013 Jones was working at the Music City Basketball Academy Camp which hopes to help inner city youth basketball players in Metro Nashville improve their skills.
