Tre Jones, PG, Duke

Composite Ranking: 9

It’s easy to compare one player to his sibling, generally they might have different styles, but the physical and athletic traits are usually the same. Tre Jones and his brother current Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Tyus have very similar games.

Like his older brother, Tre is a smart level-headed point guard with great vision and basketball IQ. Tre probably is a slightly worse shooter and better athlete than Tyus. He will most likely thrive at Duke next year being able to run the show for all their talent, but Tyus was never supposed to be a one and done.

Tre Jones has the chance to put himself on the radar like Tyus did if he proves to be a consistent shooter and defender.
