Jones has been a shot-creator this season, particularly behind the three-point line. He makes it difficult to stay in front of because of his quick handles and ability to hit fading-away jumpers no matter the defense. Jones is averaging around 2 threes a game keeping defenses on their toes trying to stop him from deep. He has zero hesitation when looking to pull-up for an open shot, especially on the fastbreak. He will come off of 0ff-ball screens constantly and uses his quick and smooth release with little resistance from contests.

Jones is a smart player with great basketball IQ to his game. He doesn’t force shots and is a straight sniper from downtown hitting every three that leaves his hands it feels like.

Jones’s tight handles allow him to get any shot he wants.
