RANK


Easily my most undervalued prospect in the draft. Projected 2nd round pick. 9.1 FT/Game stands out above all else. 82.6 FT% 60.4% Around the basket Slashing/penetration abilities waiting to be unleashed. Combination of skills find him at the rim. Not overly quick. Deceptive, strong, crafty. Step back game is proper. 48.3% off screens. Uses jabs and deception to get defenders out of sync. Composed and confident working a defender into the elbow for a jumper. 3.2 TO/gm Defensive foot speed is a question, has length and active hands 1.6 STL. If Jones can manufacture ways to the bucket while still improving his shooting versatility and distributor capabilities he will be a dangerous player. But we have yet to see if 9.1 FT att/gm translates.
