A big and versatile guard. Jones impresses as a well-rounded prospect that can impact a game in a variety of ways. Offensively, he's capable of playing as an initiator that can handle pressure, has good floor vision, and is a crafty passer. As a scorer, he can get it done at all three levels. He's a tough finisher at the rim, has the ability to create space in the mid-range, and can make threes in catch and shoot situations. He's capable of guarding up and down a position on the defensive end, rebounds above the rim, and has some weakside shot blocker ability too. Jones is an instant impact recruit for <strong><em>CCSU</em></strong> and has a chance to be an all-conference type of guy eventually in the <em>NEC</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1489296"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669db58251248"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McClure came off the board with a commitment to the <strong><em>University of Southern Maine</em></strong>. A coach's son, McClure just knows how to play the game the right way. Defensively, he has a strong understanding of team concepts, rotations, and where he needs to be in schemes. His IQ allows him to generate plenty of deflections, steals, and blocks on that end of the floor. Offensively, he's an intelligent cutter, is capable of making shots from behind the arc, and does a good job of playing within the flow of the offense. He has good positional size, is a willing ball mover, and generally, makes good decisions with the basketball. He's another nice piece for <strong><em>Southern Maine</em></strong> and comes in prepared for the <em>Little East</em> from his time in the <em>NEPSAC</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2313089"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669db582512a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James wrapped up his recruitment with a commitment to <strong><em>Albertus Magnus College</em></strong>. A lead guard that plays with an edge and toughness, James showcased the ability to run an offense, limit turnovers, and score when called upon at <em>Westminister</em> this winter. He's capable of scoring in the paint and behind the arc, has the strength to finish through contact in the paint, and is a crafty passer off the bounce. Defensively, he's capable of guarding both spots in the back-court with his combination of strength and basketball IQ. He rebounds his position well, walls up opposing guards on the perimeter, and does a good job of initiating offensive opportunities in transition. He has the chance to be an immediate impact guard at <strong><em>Albertus</em></strong> and should eventually develop into on of the best lead guards in the <em>GNAC</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2313153"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669db58251304"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tawil made his college plans official when he announced that he will be attending <strong><em>Florida Southern College</em></strong>. A big guard that's wired to score, Tawil is a terrific perimeter shooter that gets his feet set on the move and quickly gets into his shot. He moves well off the ball, knows how to use screens to get open, and has good footwork when his drives are cut off. He's one of this class's better mid-range scorers, with a high release point and soft touch on his jumper. He has versatility on the defensive end of the floor as he showcases good positional size, impressive length, and a high basketball IQ. He has one top notch skill in his ability to shoot the ball and should be able to carve out a role at <strong><em>Florida Southern</em></strong> as a floor spacer in a very competitive and tough <em>Sunshine State Conference</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
