Chris Jones Jr. Chris Jones Jr. 6’3″ | SG Pasadena Memorial | 2025 TX was a HUGE force to be reckoned with in PA Memorial’s close loss to Booker T during the nightcap on Saturday at the Season Opener. He dropped a tournament high 43 points on 18/27 from the field and a great 7/13 from three point range. Chris was making things happen for his team every possession down the floor on offense. Jones also showed excellent defensive capability, notching three steals on the other end and finishing well on fastbreaks. He showed a quick trigger on the offensive end, able to shoot the ball over the outstretched arms of several opposing defenders and was always able to be in the right place on the floor. If Chris Jones Jr. Chris Jones Jr. 6’3″ | SG Pasadena Memorial | 2025 TX was not known in the best shooters of Houston group, his name is definitely up among the ranks after this performance against high level competition.
Chris was a big time catalyst as always in the War Eagles late evening win over Pasadena Memorial. The phenomenal 2024 athlete came away with 26 points on 8/16 shooting and pulled 18 rebounds. Matched up against LSU commit Robert Miller Robert Miller 6’11” | C Pasadena Memorial | 2024 State #64 Nation TX III, McDermott managed to get Miller into foul trouble early and take him out of the game where Chris then took advantage of the smaller matchups and finished some easy buckets. One thing I really love about Chris’ game is that he never hesitates to take it upon himself to bring the basketball up the floor when his team needs an extra ballhandler and he is constantly able to stretch the floor on offense as someone who can spot up for a three point and occasionally make the defense pay. I also was able to catch a glimpse of the athleticism from McDermott as he gets up high to block the offensive shots at the rim, sending several of them ricocheting off the backboard and he rarely fouls as he is very disciplined not to bite on pump fakes. Look for his stock to soar this season as he looks to be the main scorer in the Eagles’ offense.
