Lazeric Deleon Jones (born August 11, 1990) is an American professional basketball player for Sakarya of the Turkish Basketball First League. He played college basketball for the UCLA Bruins, and was named an all-conference player in the Pac-12 in 2012. Jones has also played professionally in Israel, and Greece.
Jones was born in Chicago, Illinois. He attended high school in Chicago at Simeon Career Academy, where he played behind future NBA Most Valuable Player Derrick Rose.
Jones went to junior college at John A. Logan College, and he led their basketball team to a Great Rivers Athletic Conference championship during his sophomore year in 2010. He transferred to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2010, when he became just the third junior college transfer in 30 years to play for the UCLA Bruins basketball program. He averaged 9.1 points and 3.7 assists in 2010–11; however, his performance dropped after a wrist injury in February. Still, he did not miss any games, and he was the only Bruin to start all 34 games.
During the offseason, he underwent a 10-week rehab program and returned to 100 percent by preseason practice the following season. In 2011–12, he was named team captain, and earned second-team All-Pac-12 honors after averaging a team-leading 13.5 points along with 4.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game.
