Inconsistent long-range shooter
Can be too scoring focused on offense

Summary:
Lance Jones is an agile, skilled combo guard that currently plays for Purdue. He has shown an improved jump shot and has some defensive skills, but will need to be a more consistent player in games, and will need to show that he can reliably run the point at higher levels. He has been a vital role player on one of the best teams in college basketball, and he could end up having a lengthy playing career in professional basketball.
