Scouting Journals for Dorian Jones

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.
