Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Prior to college, Jones was a four-star recruit by Rivals and a three-star recruit according to 247Sports composite rankings. He had plenty of high-level organized basketball experience playing for the Dominican Republic's national team. He participated in the U16 and U18 Americas Championships and the U17 World Cup. Jones committed to playing college basketball at DePaul. During his 2020-21 freshman year, he started in one of his nine appearances. He was quickly inserted into a bigger role, starting 27 of his 28 appearances as a sophomore. Following that season, Jones transferred to St. John's, where he started 22 of 31 appearances. His senior campaign brought another transfer, this time to Memphis. That's where the accolades poured in. As a full-time starter, Jones averaged 21.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.2 steals in 32.4 minutes. He was named All-AAC First Team and AP All-American Honorable Mention. The biggest leap in the lefty's development has been his shooting. Never reaching the 30% threshold from deep prior to his senior year, Jones shot 79-for-208 (38%) from deep in 2023-24. Prolific 3-point shooting was a major part of his arsenal, but Jones is far from just a pure spot-up threat. He got to the free-throw line 6.8 times per game as well (80%), proving able to throw around his NBA-ready body and finish at the rim. His rebounding and defense are also pluses, though he does have a tendency to gamble. At the NBA level, Jones projects as a wing, as his athleticism, handle and vision are all merely acceptable rather than standout. It's possible he can initiate some secondary actions, but he doesn't project as someone who will be running an offense. Jones is a potential second-round pick who may be able to impact a bench unit sooner than later. His ability to knock down open shots and create looks for himself at his size gives him a fairly high floor. There are similarities in his game to someone like Josh Okogie, though Jones projects as a better three-point shooter.

Joins Utah on two-way deal
FUtah Jazz
November 20, 2024
Jones and the Jazz agreed to a two-way contract Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
An undrafted rookie out of Memphis, Jones was waived by the 76ers back in September and had been playing for the G League's Mexico City Capitanes. Though he'll occupy one of the Jazz's three two-way spots and should have a chance at making his NBA debut at some point in 2024-25, he'll likely receive most of his minutes in the G League with Utah's affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Blazers looking at him
FFree Agent
June 14, 2024
Jones was involved in a pre-draft workout hosted by the Trail Blazers on Thursday, according to Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com.
ANALYSIS
The Trail Blazers control four picks in the upcoming draft, two of which are second-round selections at No. 34 and No. 40. Jones is a combo guard with excellent offensive upside. Still, he's also a bit raw and needs to keep developing to be a viable NBA contributor, so he might be better suited to be a second-round selection. Jones averaged 21.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in the 2023-24 season with Memphis.
