Summary:

Keonte Jones is an athletic, energetic swingman that recently played at Dayton in college basketball. He projects into a 3 and D role at the NBA level, and he is a good ball mover, but he’ll need to improve his jump shot. He’ll likely need to spend at least a year in the G-League or overseas to refine his game, but he could compete for a roster spot in the NBA sometime down the road.
