"I’ve been keeping an eye on Jones for a while, and after a fantastic final month to close last season, I think a college star turn may be coming here. He’s decisive and a naturally connective player with a solid frame who might be able to moonlight at four positions situationally. He’s not quite a point guard, but he’s an opportunistic playmaker, and the success of guys like Bruce Brown in weirdo gadget roles in the NBA gives me some optimism that Jones finds his way into real utility. He’s a below-average catch-and-shoot player right now, but if he can iron that out a bit, I’d bet his stock skyrockets. Unselfish, well-rounded role players like this always tend to pique my curiosity, and there’s enough of a production track record here that I’m bullish. Keep an eye on how he’s deployed under new head coach Sean Miller."

Colby Jones in latest Mock NBA Draft
"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

So he has upside potential?

Reminds me a bit of James Posey. Can do a bit of everything. More of a high energy slasher now. Shooting can improve.

Colby really needs to step up. Be more aggresive and drive or make solid plays. During his first 2 years, he shines and then he disappears.
Hope he knows he has to score for X to win.

Colby #22 to my Knickerbockers in this latest mock draft from bleacher report."I’m willing to sacrifice everything for this team. I’m going to dive for every loose ball, close out harder on every shot, block out for every rebound. I’m going to play harder than I’ve ever played. And I need you all to follow me." -MB '17

From like 20 on those things fluctuate like crazy throughout year. I don’t think it’s a lock that he is gone, maybe like 75%. Speaking of NBA- Marshall really found a nice spot for himself.

Felt a need to drag this over from the game thread.
This is what's going on in real time. It certainly is debatable that Jones has not improved his ON COURT stock thus far to enhance his draft prospects. Folks that argue he hasn't, likely win that debate IMO.
There can not be any debate that he is inexplicably unreliable from the line....he produces some serious high anxiety, especially when it matters. 11-24 in BE play? Correction....that just sucks. Again in Big East play, he hovers around 1:1 A/TO ratio, has a text book mediocre 3 ball %, rebound numbers are down from last year and simply disappears too often for what's expected.
Will he get drafted...yes. 1st round? Not if he doesn't find that next gear consistently going forward. But yeah, he'll be rostered NBA on their penchant for physical/athletic metrics regardless.
I am sticking with a sweep of PC. That should get us at least a share of the RS crown. No ZFree..CoJo needs to be a big factor in making that happen.President of the Eddie Johnson Fan Club
