JD Notae and Mason Jones similarities continue as former invited to Elite Camp

JD Notae is creating a path to the NBA with this invitation.

Mason Jones’ last season at Arkansas was the stuff of legend. JD Notae’s was the same.

Jones has made his hay as one of the G League’s best players after declining a final season in Fayetteville. He was the third leading scorer in the league this year and had another stint in the NBA with Los Angeles.

Now Notae could join him.

The first-team SEC guard was invited to the G League Elite Camp from May 16-17 month in Chicago. Those who perform best there will then be invited to the NBA Scouting Combine on May 22. Jaylin Williams, Arkansas’ sophomore forward who declared for the draft but did not hire an agent, will be at the Combine, as well.

Notae could have returned to Arkansas for a super-senior season but chose to sign with an agent, instead. He averaged 18.3 points and 2.3 steals last year en route to an All-American third-team honor.
