This was Woo’s pre-draft assessment
"Jones measured well, with a 7-foot-3 wingspan and 9-foot standing reach despite standing just 6-7 1/2 barefoot and has continued to help himself in Chicago," wrote Jeremy Woo of ESPN. "While not the quickest vertical leaper, Jones has good feet and hands for his size, has flashed some passing and shooting potential, and generally makes smart plays.
"At 24 years old, his unique story and strong play will likely earn him interest from teams as the draft draws closer, and he'll get a chance to develop into a useful depth player off some team's bench."
