Jones can score, create and control pace without looking rushed. That matters. Harlan does not need him hunting a difficult shot every tr. It needs him doing what he does best, leading and reading the floor. Forcing the defense to commit and making the next pass. The talent is already there, he has proven himself to be a sought after prospect.  A big season means leading every possession, including the quiet ones.

Josiah Jones Josiah Jones 5'5" TX is a paint-touch floor general with the vision to play a step ahead and the shooting to keep drop coverage honest. He scores off the catch and off the bounce, stretches the floor from deep, and still runs Harlan’s offense with a pass-first feel when the helper arrives. Size at 6-foot-2 lets him see over smaller guards and finish in traffic, while the jumper forces bigger defenders to stay attached. Public grassroots production as a three-level creator (including efficient perimeter shooting on the 3SSB circuit) lines up with the high school tape: this is a lead guard who can generate offense without living exclusively at the rim. Jones’ combination of shooting, pace, and playmaking makes him a natural college initiator who spaces and organizes.

-Loved the decisions that Jones made throughout both games that I saw this weekend as a shifty floor general that sees the floor well. Jones manipulates the defense well with his eyes in ball screens, can improvise on the fly but makes good predetermined reads, hit smooth pull-up jumpers from all 3 levels, and did a great job of finding vulnerable pockets in the defense to create from as a dual threat floor general. Liked the value that he brings as a PG that can operate effectively on or off the ball as a movement shooter or connector from the wing.
