Louisville Cardinals guard Carlik Jones will reportedly participate in the NBA draft combine after a strong performance at the G League Elite Camp, according to Jeremy Woo of Sports Illustrated.
Jones was among 40 prospects to attend the G League Elite Camp over the weekend in Chicago, Illinois. In two scrimmage games, Jones averaged 15.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists on 47.8% shooting from the field, including 60% (3-of-5) from 3-point range.
The 6-foot-1 guard registered the highest-scoring performance in the event, producing 23 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field on Sunday. He looked to be perhaps the best player in scrimmage play and seemingly had each element of his game on display.

Jones was named to the All-ACC First Team after averaging 16.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 19 games last season. He was the only player in the ACC to rank in the top six in scoring, assists, assist/turnover ratio (2.18) and free-throw percentage (81.5).
This year marks the second time the G League Elite Camp was held in its revamped format after first launching in 2019. Overall, 11 players were invited to the combine from the G League Elite Camp in 2019 and five were eventually drafted.
