Jones, a 6’1”, 200 pound shooting guard, will be a 5th year senior with one year (his “Covid” year) of eligibility for the Boilermakers. Last season at Southern Illinois he started 33 games, averaged 14 points, was 3rd team All-MVC, and was named to the MVC All-Defense squad.

The Good

Jones is an athletic, experienced guard.
