It was quite the week for Tennessee point guard Jordan Bone. The 6-3 junior guard had 19 and 18 points last week against Texas A&M and South Carolina, respectively. More impressively, Bone racked up 19 assists in that span, proving to be the engine that made the Tennessee offense go.
For his efforts, Bone was named SEC co-player of the week. He was also named to the Bob Cousy Award watchlist, which recognizes the top point guard in the country.
Bone’s progression this year has been really fun to follow. He’s gone from a guy who didn’t really seem to grasp the game last year, to a guy that’s in total control this year.
