Another young Keenan Raider who stepped up in the win was Jones, who put up 16 points and 11 rebounds. Zyion is one of the best defenders in the Palmetto State regardless of class. He can hold up around the rim despite a more slender frame, but he is also excellent off-the-ball with his length and instincts. His offensive productivity helped keep Keenan in it in the first half because he challenged the offensive glass and created second-chance points, but he was also a part of the big fourth-quarter run with a left-corner three. The three-ball will be the telling sign of Jones’ long-term future, but he is ready now to be a key player on one of the best teams in the state.

Zyion was a huge part of Upward Stars SE ‘s win over Team CP3. He came off the bench and was the perfect piece to finish the puzzle in crunch time. Jones made his impact felt with active on-ball defense, picking up opposing ball handlers and using his length to disrupt things. When off the ball, he had some strong box outs and rotated well to challenge shots. He also had a few impressive moves on the offensive end of the floor, including one really good move with his back to the basket. This was the best game I’ve seen from Zyion so far and one that proves his long-term potential.

The Skillful Maestro: Zyion Jones Zyion Jones 6'7" | PF/SF Keenan | 2028 State SC , our basketball maestro, is a sight to behold. With a wingspan that’d make a condor envious, he rules the boards. But that’s not all; this 6’4″ sensation possesses a hoops IQ that’s off the charts. His three-point accuracy is a game-changer for modern big men.
