Weber State’s Dillon Jones and UNC Asheville’s Drew Pember had every reason to decide they’d done enough at this level.Yet both returned to school in part because they wanted their college careers to have a better finish.Jones’ team suffered a double-overtime loss in a Big Sky Conference Tournament semifinal. Pember’s squad reached the NCAA Tournament but got blown out in the opening round.Now they’re back for one more season as two of the most decorated players from traditional one-bid conferences.“I’m not overly emotional about it, but it would have been definitely hard for me to take that step and not feel like I left it off in the right way,” Jones said.Jones, a 6-foot-6 forward, participated in the G League Elite Camp and the NBA combine after leading Weber State in points (16.7), rebounds (10.9), assists (3.8) and steals (1.6) per game last season. He ultimately decided to return to school rather than beginning his pro career.He never really considered transferring to a high-m...
