Jones: This year is going to be a very great year for everyone

After two seasons spent in France, DeVante’ Jones will be joining Cedevita Olimpija for the upcoming season.

For the fans, who might know him to well, who is DeVante’ Jones?

“The fans can expect a hard working individual, who wants to make an impact right away. Just bringing a winning mentality. I’m very chill, very open, very loving guy. I can’t wait to meet the whole club, and the fans. I’m very excited. This year is going to be a very great year for everyone, and I’m very excited and can’t wait to get over there to meet you guys.”

It was also a great opportunity to ask him, about how much he knows about the club, Ljubljana and Slovenia, before getting to the city.

“I don’t really know much about Cedevita Olimpija. Obviously I did my research, I also had talks with my agent. I’ve heard nothing but great things, and that it’s a very well established and proven club. I don’t know much about Slovenia either, but I did my research on the country, and I can’t wait to get over there and enjoy the loving environment that everyone brings.”

It will be the first time that DeVante’ will be part of the AdmiralBet ABA League and BKT EuroCup.

“With this being my first year in the ABA League and EuroCup, I’m very excited. This current summer, I’ve been working extremely hard on my body to get in shape, and to get mentally and physically prepared for the long season ahead. I can’t wait to meet both competitions and just go to war with my teammates. It’s going to be a very fun year, an exciting year. I don’t know what to expect from both of the competitions, because mostly I’ve been playing in the French league, and I know that there’s a big difference between the French league, and ABA League and EuroCup. This is an opportunity, I’ve been waiting on ever since I got overseas, so I’m very excited and I can’t wait to make history with my new team.”

And a special message for the fans?

“I can’t wait to see you guys. I’m very very excited. Just very willing to be open with everyone, pictures, autographs. I can’t wait for everyone to make history together.”
