Expert Analysis
Mike Graham | Prep Dig Scout
Jones (pictured) played with a number of the current teammates from last year so she is familiar with where they like balls and is putting them in position to succeed with great touch. Jones for the most part makes sure defense don’t know which way balls are going. She consistently makes the right reads. Jones can even perform the back set. She still leans some on those back sets tipping off defenders, but it is improving every time she takes the court. She has eclipsed 1000 career assists for her high school career and those numbers will continue to climb throughout the rest of her high school and club careers.
