Jones, Kai  Texas 6'11" 218 PF soph. 

Kai Jones is an athletic player that has special ability in transition. Known more for his defensive ability to cover ground in a hurry, Jones averaged 8.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.1 blocked shots per game in 2020-21. He shot 38% from three-point range which is excellent for a player that brings shot blocking ability. He shot 68.9% FT. Jones had more than two turnovers for every one assist. Right handed. ...Jones can get down and guard any position on the floor. The question will be whether he can provide enough offense and the make the right decisions to get into a game. …We anticipate Jones being selected in the middle of the first round. If Kai Jones hits his full potential he could be special. He has athletic gifts that others can only dream of. 

 

Our best advice: in 2015, the 31st pick was Cedi Osman. We advised, "draft Montrezl Harrell."
