Jones is a wing that was the 2023-24 Big Sky Player of the Year. He is 6'5" but he has a 6'11" wingspan and that makes him a disruptive defender. His DEFRTG was 3.6 points per 100 possessions better than the Weber St. team DEFRTG. He led the Big Sky in boxscore plus/minus (and is the Big Sky career leader in that category). Jones averaged 20.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in 2023-24. He is a low percentage three-point shooter (32.0% 3-pt fg, career). He is good at the free throw line, shooting 85.7% FT in 2023-24. He posted a 1.72 assist-to-turnover ratio. Jones showed toughness by finishing eighth in the NCAA in minutes played. He is not a great athlete from a running and jumping standpoint (33.5" max. vert.). He could shed 15-20 lbs., and that would help him. His ability on defense is real. He should shine playing with better quality athletes. We believe Jones will be taken in the mid-to-late second round. We like him as one of the biggest sleepers in this Draft. (see video)
