Poop:
Eddie Jones was a member of Temple's supercharged troika of scorers
on a team with little depth. He and Aaron McKie were depended upon
for most of the scoring, and came through again and again. Jones also
was very important as an offensive rebounder, having a knack for being
around the ball despite being slightly undersized and having no great
big man around to help. He makes up for his lack of size with his
incredible leaping ability, making a living from alley oop dunks and
finishing the few fast breaks that Temple ran.
He was a very good defender in Chaney's strict matchup zone defense.
He'll be well prepared for the pros though because the matchup is so
aggressive, and forces a half-court game, which many college players
have little experience with. His springs and shot-blocking give him
the skills to be a one-on-one defender as well.
Jones has range out to NBA three point range but he's very streaky.
He is able to create his own shot, but is more of a scorer than a
shooter. His aggressiveness around the boards allows him to pick up
garbage points. Being slightly undersized, he may have trouble
getting off his shots against NBA small forwards, and he doesn't have
the consistency to play at SG for long periods of time. Also, being
at SG a lot would prevent him from using his rebounding skills.
Jones is an athletic, disciplined, skilled player who should go
between 18 and 24 in the draft. He could be a starter within a couple
of years. If he improves his shot, he could be a star.

expected to go 18-24? he went 10th!
