Summary:
Carlik Jones is a tough, gritty point guard that can shoot and score the basketball, and he also can effectively run the team with the ball in his hands. He doesn’t possess overwhelming foot-speed, but he tends to make sound decisions in games, and he projects to be a borderline second round candidate for the 2021 draft.
