SCOUTING REPORT
Strengths: Jones is the perfect fit for an already established winning team. He does all of the little things well from accurate passing to splitting screens. He can run on the transition and make plays, but he’s just as good at slowing down and using a half-court offense. Jones also has extreme mental toughness. He’s not afraid to take big shots, and he always trusts his teammates to do the same. He fits the bill for a team with a lot of scorers, and will be taken ahead of Payne if the situation plays out that way.

Weaknesses: Jones is nowhere near the prolific scorer that Payne is. Although not afraid to take big shots, he is not on sharp-shooter level. His floater and hesitation game are good, but he will need to perfect them if he wants to cover-up his physical disadvantage at the NBA level. Jones will make a good team very happy, but may not completely blossom without a great supporting cast around him.
