Jones on his commitment to Ohio State

Dorian Jones went in-depth on his decision to choose Ohio State with On3.

“I wanted to stay home and they showed me the most love and were always keeping it real with me. (Coach Diebler) has been watching me since freshman year. He trusted me, now it’s time to return the favor.”

“A defensive guy, one of the best in the country. I can shoot, block shots, and also a great leader.”

Scouting Report

“Dorian Jones’ reputation is as a shot maker and a defensive stopper. On the defensive end, he uses his plus wingspan to get in the passing lanes and he has quick feet which he uses to guard in the open floor. Offensively, Jones is still developing. He is a streaky shooter as his shooting base can get knocked off center when he shoots off movement or steps into a shot. His release can also flatten out off the catch. He fills the lanes quickly in transition and attacks the rim with purpose in the open floor. Would like to see him continue to develop his handle in the half-court, as well as his decision making with the ball in his hands. Jones has played on a big stage for some time now, and he has continued to answer the call. There is some twitchy athleticism in there and some of his flashes are intriguing. Now it’s about finding consistency and developing his skill set.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
