Jones plays as a man among boys. He has big length and, like a Laurence Bowers, he can finish with a number a powerful dunks, especially in transition. And something I like to see from old school basketball videos, Jones possesses a jump hook that he can hit near the basket. Jones, since he has good length, he can turn into a rebounding machine.
According to scouting reports, Jones struggles when double-teamed or when the area around the paint becomes congested. He needs to become more of a lateral player to become successful in the NCAA.
The best part about Jones is now he adds depth to a front court that will need to rebuild, a little bit. By the looks of it, Jones is pretty raw and Mizzou head coach Frank Haith can mold him into a solid rebounder as well as a scorer on the post.
Coming out of La Lumiere School in Chandler, Arizona, Jones is the 37th best power forward in the incoming class, according to ESPN. Jones will be a nice player to come off the bench this season to bring a nice spark on both ends of the floor.
Here is a highlight reel of what Jones can bring to the Tigers:
And here is a cool windmill dunk that he did in warmups.
