Kai Jones: PF/C, 6'11", 215 Lb's, Sophmore, Texas.
22.6 mpg - 8.4 ppg - 57.8% fgp - 41.7% 3pp - 68.3% ftp - 4.8 rpg - 0.6 apg - 0.7 blk's
Jones has grown an inch since arriving at Texas and has improved quite a bit since his freshman year. He plays with a lot of bounce in his game and plays above the rim. Like Bagley, he has a very quick second leap. He's a very good ball handler for a player his size and has shown a proclivity to pass the ball. He has a decent outside shot as you can see by his 3 pt percentage, but only takes around two a game. He has shown the potential to be a good defender either under the basket or on the perimeter where he has quick lateral quickness.
He needs to get stronger if he wants to defend the basket in the NBA, but he plays with intensity. He probably turns the ball over a bit too much, but I'm willing to forgive him due to his aggressiveness. He's a very good rebounder and once again, I think once he gets stronger, his rebounding will only get better. He's not ready to play in the NBA right now, but he has a lot of potential, and could be one of those players you'll wonder why he was drafted so low in a couple of years. The Kings need depth at the five and the four, so Jones is someone I'd certainly consider depending on where were drafting.
