2018 NBA Draft Big Board: Late October

30. Andrew Jones, PG, Texas

Not many players have the potential to see their stock grow as much as Jones’ could by next June. He already set the bar fairly high after a strong freshman year, and seems primed to enter the draft with a 2018 class that won’t have much point guard depth in front of him.

An explosive 6’4” guard with long arms and plenty of quickness, Jones’ athleticism is what’ll keep most scouts intrigued. He’s still working on his 3-point stroke and will need to show more growth as a decision-maker, but his ability to push the pace in transition or get to the rim in half-court sets gives him enough tools to succeed early.

He’ll also bring some nice defensive upside at the next level. His frame hasn’t filled out yet, but his motor is in the right place. How much polish he can add between now and June could mean the difference between a late lottery pick and a second round selection.
