Summary:
KJ Jones II is an athletic, skilled swingman that played at Emmanuel in college basketball. He played in division II, so he doesn’t have a whole lot of experience against playing top teams, but he’s a smooth, three-level scorer that can do so in a variety of ways. He recently was invited to play at the 2024 Portsmouth Invitational, and he played very well in the final day of the event. He’ll need to show teams that he can handle the transition and jump to play at the NBA level, but if things break his way, he could end up being a solid role player in the NBA.
