Colby Jones: 6’5.5” 199 lbs 6’8” wingspan 21.1 years old Junior, Xavier 15 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 4.4 apg, 1.3 spg, 50.9% fg%, 37.8% 3%, 65.3% ft%
Overview: Colby Jones is good at just about everything at the college level but a master of none. Jones is a crafty, versatile scorer with impressive feel for the game and vision who improved his shot to make him a more dangerous player. Jones is not a tremendous athlete but uses what he does have well to compete on both ends. My worry for Jones is that he is not good enough at shooting off ball to be a supporting cast wing player nor is he good enough on ball to run an offense and defensively he will not be an ace which is the way onto the floor if not super great at one of the prior two things at Jones’ size.
Strengths: Very good touch in the intermediate game. Floaters and hooks. Intelligent player who reads the game well. Hardly ever gets sped up. Good passer. Improving shooter. Ambidextrous passer. Performed well in the clutch all year.
Weaknesses: Lacks burst. Mediocre defender. Does not have much of an off the bounce jumper. (does have floater). Sub 70% free throw shooter in college. Low release point.
