A nice surprise considering how he looked on tape compared with what we saw here,
Marcel Jones has some nice tools to work with and could very well end up being a nice basketball player sometime down the road if he continues to work hard. He was very opportunistic in all the games he played in, feeding off open shots he found behind the 3-point line or from mid-range when the defense slacked, grabbing offensive rebounds, finishing in transitioning, and generally showing a good feel for the game while not looking particularly out of place. Hes quick off his feet but not terribly explosive off the dribble, showing average ball-handling skills and a jump-shot that varies from very good (mainly with his feet set) to very poor due to his inconsistent shooting mechanics. There are a few things he does well right now, but nothing outstanding, so another year in college could certainly do him well to help round out his game.
