Last Season Stats – 8.6 PPG, 1.3 APG, 22 3PM
Jones is ready to take an elevated role for Dudley this season as he’s continued to improve in leaps and bounds this summer. He’s got a clip, especially from deep range which is something many others cannot say they have. You’ve got to guard him from the volleyball line in or else he’ll make you pay. Also has a tight handle and developing playmaking skills to go with his off ball shooting. With those coming along, expect him to become a dynamic combo guard quickly.
