SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Kenyon Jones, a college basketball star in the Bay Area who went on to a pro career in Europe, has died. He was 27.
A spokesman for the University of San Francisco, where Jones was the most valuable player of the West Coast Conference in 1999-00, said Jones died Thursday at his family home in Atlanta. School spokesman Pete Simon didn't know the cause of death, but Eurobasket.com reported Jones died of a heart attack.
Jones, a 6-foot-10 forward-center, played his first three college seasons at California, averaging 6.0 points and 3.7 rebounds as a junior. After transferring to San Francisco, he was chosen as the WCC's top player while averaging 16.5 points and 9.0 rebounds for the Dons.
