    Lance Jones, at least for now, is an NBA player.

    The former Purdue guard was not picked in the NBA Draft, but was announced as a signee to the Indiana Pacers' summer league roster Friday, Purdue basketball's X account and others tweeted.

    Purdue's third-highest scorer last season, Jones worked out for the Pacers June 4.

    When Jones shows up to summer activities, he'll see a familiar face at his own position: Tristen Newton, the former Connecticut All-American who nipped the Boilers in April's National Championship, was drafted at No. 49 by the Pacers.

    The Pacers' first summer league game is July 12 against the Nets.
