He actually got a first round grade last time, but decided to come back because he didn't feel ready for the professional lifestyle and wanted to take a year to get his habits right and ready for the NBA.
He put in a lot of work in the Summer, Cuonzo even remarked that it had taken the combine to show Jontay how to put in the work to be a professional, as proof by getting into the best shape of his life.
At this point, he is still the guy who many GMs saw as a 1st round talent on skill alone, and assuming he's healthy, he'll have gotten his habits and fitness where he wants to be as a professional.
