We all know the question when it comes to Tyus Jones’ game translating to the NBA — his size.
If Jones was a few inches taller and a few pounds heavier, I don’t think anyone would be questioning his potential in the NBA. Though, his small size is a true concern, as it should be.
There were many times during his freshman year at Duke when he just flat-out took over games. He’s a big game performer and was often Duke’s closer. You can’t teach those types of traits. Though, his ideal size and quickness will probably keep Jones from being a lottery pick.
Despite that, lacking size and quickness for a point guard could prove to be a huge hindrance for his NBA future.
