Minnesota Timberwolves Draft Profile: Duke guard Tre Jones

Tre Jones is 6-foot-3 and a solid 190 pounds. He has a great frame and displayed that defensively for Duke this past season. Jones’ main calling card was the pressure he applied to opposing point guards while defending on-ball. He was the 2019-20 Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year, Defensive player of the year, as well as a consensus third-team All-American.

As a Freshman, Jones struggled as a shooter. He shot below 30-percent from the free-throw line and his overall form was lacking. It is notable that the spacing Duke had in 2018-19 was suboptimal and the offensive scheme was lacking in almost every way.
