2015 NBA Draft: Tyus Jones (PG; Fr; Duke)
6. Tyus Jones
Latest Rumors: MEMPHIS
Point Guard / 6-1 / Duke / Freshman 11.8 ppg, 5.6 apg, 3.5 rpg
Quite possibly Duke's most valuable member of the Fab Three. Jones was the catalyst to Duke's national title. He was awarded MOP of the Final Four, making number of big plays down the stretch, and all tourney for that matter, to help Duke capture the championship. And he's likely to be rewarded by being a high draft pick. He lacks great physical measurements and isn't a standout athlete, but he's got tremendous intangibles and leadership at the point guard position. He shows maturity and composure beyond his years. Scouts complain about his ability to beat opponents off the dribble, but he is very crafty and it just means he will have to work harder to get open looks and make it as a starter in the league. His jump shot showed better range and consistency as the year progressed. Worst-case scenario he probably ends up a high level backup. Jones is now considered by scouts as a possible late lottery to mid first round pick.
