2020 rankings were finalized on 11/17/20.

Height: 6-8
Weight: 237
College: Xavier
Classification: Senior
Birthdate: 5/3/1997

Projected Draft Range: 2nd Round to Undrafted

Pros:

Solid finisher around the basket

Good rebounder
Adequate defender
Good athlete
Solid motor

Cons:

Needs to improve his face-up game
Below average free throw shooter

Old for a draft prospect, may have limited upside

Summary:

Tyrique Jones is an athletic, high-motor big man that can get scores and rebounds in the paint.  He may be undersized to play inside, and will need to improve his jump shot and perimeter skills, but he’s been very productive for Xavier this season, and he could be a potential second round pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
