Evaluations

June 2020: Jones has a positive energy and vibe to her game. Her willingness and ability to be taught was a major plus in grading her skill set. She was more than willing to take coaching and saw her shot fall consistently as a result. A slender-framed guard, Jones has plenty of room to keep maturing physically which will expand her shooting range  in the process but she’s off to a fantastic start building her game.

May 2019: Jones played a combo guard role this weekend at camp. She was able to balance playing on the wing and playing as distributor. Her shot seemed to be consistent with a high follow through. Her craftiness as a passer was also apparent as she hit cutting teammates on back door cuts and for other open shots. Jones still has room to improve with her ball handling and play-making abilities. Becoming more confident in her weak hand and being stronger in traffic will elevate her game to another level.
