Former K-State Guard Max Jones Signs Pro Contract in the U.K.

MANHATTAN (KSNT)- After one season in a Kansas State uniform, Max Jones is taking his game overseas.

The former Wildcat guard has signed his first professional contract with Manchester Basketball, a club in the British Basketball League.

I'm excited and grateful for the opportunity to sign with Manchester," Jones said in a press release. "This is a big step in my journey, and I’m ready to give everything I’ve got, on and off the court. I’m looking forward to joining a great team, representing the city, and making an impact.”

Jones spent the 2024–25 season at K-State after transferring from Cal State Fullerton. He started every game for the Wildcats, averaging 9.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and nearly 2 assists per game. His best performance came in February, when he dropped 22 points against UCF.

Over his college career, Jones played at three schools — starting at Division II Tampa, then two years at Fullerton, before finishing at Kansas State. In all, he scored more than 1,700 career points, with 27 games of 20 or more and six 30-point outings.
