Nearly every college basketball player projected to go in the first round of this summer’s NBA draft already has an agent. Most of them list their agent’s contact prominently on their social media pages, and many have had representation since high school.

And then there is Marquette guard Kam Jones, one of the nation’s best players. On his Instagram, it simply reads: “Agent: @coachshakasmart.”

That’s no coincidence.
