Scouting Journals for Ryan Jones

Ryan Jones is a strong and physically built power forward from Gainesville, Florida. Standing in the 6-7/6-8 range, he has very long arms, which allow him to play bigger than he is…especially on the boards. What Jones lacks in explosive pop, he makes up for in his understanding of angles and positioning. Jones is also a consistent shooter with deep range. While he does not attack close outs yet, he will knock down a three when his feet are set (corner, pick and pop, trail, etc.). Jones has a high floor, there is an understanding of what he does and what he will be.
