As a long, mobile big who’s flashed the ability to shoot threes and put the ball on the floor — and someone who picked up the game late — Jones is an undeniably fascinating project. He moves incredibly well for his size, but his talent manifests much more in splash plays than on a consistent basis.”
The 6-foot-11, 220-pound sophomore is averaging 9 points and 5.2 rebounds for the Longhorns through 13 games this year.
Woo added: “Scouts I’ve spoken with aren’t all the way there yet — Jones’s lack of physicality and limited basketball IQ are still holdups.”
Oklahoma State guard Cade Cunningham was the No. 1 overall pick, going to the Pistons.
