He averaged 23 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds per game at Apple Valley High School in Saint Paul, Minn. During his sophomore season, he played with Duke freshman Gary Trent Jr.
Darius Garland, the No. 2 point guard in the country, who plays for Brentwood Academy in Brentwood, Tenn., has said he’d like to play with Jones in college. He has said the two could complement each other with Garland as more of a combination guard.
Of the 19 recruiting experts polled by 247sports, all of them are predicting Jones will choose Duke.
