The older brother of NBA player Tre Jones, he previously played for his hometown team, the Minnesota Timberwolves for four seasons, before signing with the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2019 offseason. After 4 seasons with the team, he was traded to the Washington Wizards. He played college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils in his freshman season as part of the 2014–15 National Championship team.

He was ranked among the top 10 players in the national high school class of 2014 by Rivals.com, Scout.com and ESPN.[1][2][3] He was a Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) Class 4A state champion, three-time Minnesota Associated Press Boys Basketball Player of the Year and three-time Minnesota Boys Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year for Apple Valley High School. He played in the 2014 McDonald's All-American Boys Game, 2014 Jordan Brand Classic and the 2014 Nike Hoop Summit. He won the skills competition at the 2014 McDonald's All-American Game and posted the only double-double in the 2014 Jordan Brand Classic.

High school career

Jones earned the role as a varsity starter for Apple Valley High School as an eighth grader for the 2009–10 season.

points per game and 8.1 assists per game, starting every game for a team that went 20–8.[5] That season he received his first recruiting letter (at age 13) from USC.[6]

Freshman season

As a freshman, he received his first scholarship offer from

Sophomore season

As a sophomore, he was a unanimous selection as the 2012 Minnesota Associated Press Player of the Year for high school boys basketball and was named to the 2012 Associated Press All-state team along with Siyani Chambers, Joey King, Tyler Vaughan and Johnny Woodard.[4] Jones' Apple Valley team was eliminated in the MSHSL Class 4A, Section 3 final by Eastview High School.[4] Jones averaged 28 points and 8 assists in 31 minutes per game. He earned the 2012 Minnesota Boys Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year.[10] He was the 2012 Star Tribune Metro Player of the Year in boys' basketball as well as the Pioneer Press' boys basketball player of the year.[7][11] By the end of his sophomore season, he had an offer from Duke to go along with his earlier offers from Minnesota, Iowa State, Michigan State, Ohio State, Providence, Arizona, Baylor and Marquette.[7] Following the season, Jones again played for Team USA at the 2012 FIBA Under-17 World Championship in Kaunas, Lithuania from June 29 – July 8, 2012. The team went undefeated in 8 games.

Junior season

Jones entered his 2012–13 junior season as the national class of 2014's top ranked basketball player according to ESPN.

NBA.com had anticipated the matchup with a feature story.[17] Following his junior season, he was co-winner of the Minnesota Associated Press Player of the Year award for high school boys basketball, with DeLaSalle fellow junior Reid Travis.[18] Jones led Apple Valley to the MSHSL Class 4A championship, while Travis led DeLaSalle to the 3A championship.[18] They were joined on the Associated Press All-State team by Anders Broman, Rashad Vaughn and Graham Woodward.[18] Jones earned the 2013 Minnesota Boys Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year and the Pioneer Press player of the year.[19][20] However, Travis was the 2013 Star Tribune Metro Player of the Year in boys' basketball.[21] Following the season, Jones was selected by HighSchoolHardwood.com as one of two juniors (along with Okafor) on its first or second five selections of its 2012-13 High School Hardwood All-American teams. Stanley Johnson was the only other junior on the 20-man All-American First Team.[22]

On March 9 Jones listed his final seven schools: Baylor, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan State, Minnesota and Ohio State.[23] Jones had unofficially visited all seven of these schools before his junior season ended.[20] In late April 2013, Okafor's father believed it was very possible that Okafor and Jones would matriculate together as a package.[24] By late April, there were rumors that Cliff Alexander and Justise Winslow would attend whatever school Jones and Okafor attended.[25]

Senior season

On May 30, Okafor cut his list of schools to eight: Arizona, Baylor, Duke, Illinois, Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan State and Ohio State, which overlapped with Jones in six schools.[26][27] Although Alexander was ranked as the fifth best player in the class of 2014 by Rivals.com and had offers from four of the six schools common to both by the beginning of June, he said the chances of him matriculating with Jones and Okafor was slim.[28] As the summer evaluation period continued, the unique nature of the possibility of Okafor and Jones, who are not related and not teammates, going to college as a package continued to get a lot of press.[29][30][31] Jones was co-MVP for the 2013 Under Armour Elite 24 All-star game's winning team.[32] On August 13, Jones announced that he would take official visits to four schools Baylor August 30 – September 1; Kentucky September 27–29; Kansas October 18–20; and Duke October 25–27.[33] Notably, Duke, which is the favorite according to Star Tribune writer Amelia Rayno, is scheduled last.[34] On August 14, Jones confirmed that he might make a fifth official visit (the maximum allowed by the NCAA) to Minnesota, although they remained an unlikely underdog.[35] Okafor visited Baylor on August 29 with Jones as the two were ranked 1–2 in the Rivals.com class of 2014 rankings.[36] One of the reasons Baylor was a serious contender is that Jared Nuness, a member of the Baylor basketball staff, is Jones' cousin.[37]

On September 4, 2013, Rivals.com updated their ranking with Jones slipping from 2nd to 5th (behind Emmanuel Mudiay, Johnson and Alexander) and the top point guard position to second (behind Mudiay).[38] Rivals clarified that Okafor and Jones, who are considered a package deal, had visited Baylor together and would visit both Kansas and Duke together, but that they would visit Kentucky separately.[38] On September 13, class of 2014 point guard Tyler Ulis committed to Kentucky.[39][40] Subsequently, Jones canceled his September 27–29 visit to Kentucky.[41] As Okafor and Jones visited Kansas and Duke together during the last two weekends of October, those two schools were considered the favorites for the services of both.[42] At Kansas, head coach Bill Self scheduled a second open practice for the weekend of the Okafor/Jones visit.[43][44] ESPN.com's number 14 overall prospect Winslow attended Duke for an official visit the same weekend that Okafor and Jones did.[45] At the beginning of October, rumors began that Jones and Okafor would meet in a nationally televised game on December 12 that could be the first regular season high school basketball game ever broadcast on ESPN from Minnesota.[46] On November 15, ESPN announced the high school basketball broadcast schedule for its family of networks and the rumors were verified.[47] On November 2, Jones reduced his list to Baylor, Kansas and Duke and was still committed to joint matriculation with Okafor.[48]

On November 7 Jones was ranked fifth behind points leader Mudiay, Alexander, Okafor and Stanley Johnson in the

Myles Turner.[56] On November 21, Winslow committed to Duke, giving them the number one recruiting class in the nation with Jones, Okafor, Winslow and Grayson Allen all committed.[57]

On December 12, Apple Valley had a 5–0 record (including victories over state powerhouses DeLaSalle—with a sidelined Reid Travis—and Hopkins)[58][59] and national rankings of 41 by USA Today and 16 by MaxPreps, while Whitney Young entered the game 1–1 with a 34 ranking.[60] That day, in front of Mike Krzyzewski and ESPN2's national audience, Okafor's Whitney Young beat Jones' Apple Valley 80–70. Okafor had 22 points and 15 rebounds, while Jones had 29 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.[61][62][63] On January 4 in the Timberwolves Shootout at the Target Center, Jones led Apple Valley over the Kansas defending Class 6A champion Blue Valley High School who was ranked number 18 by USA Today at the time.[64][65] On March 6, 2014, Defending state champion Apple Valley lost to Cretin-Derham Hall High School 89–77 in double overtime in the Class 4A Section 3 championship despite 35 points from Jones, ending his high school career.[66][67]

Jones in the 2014 McDonald's All-American Boys Game

Jones won the skills competition at the McDonald's All-American Game on March 31.[68] In the April 2, 2014, McDonald's All-American Game Jones posted 7 points and a game-high 10 assists for the losing east team. 5 of the 7 points came in the final 2 minutes as the east briefly recovered the lead from a 99–95 deficit before losing 105–102.[69][70] On April 12, he posted a 13-point 6-assist 5-steal effort in an 84–73 Team USA Nike Hoops Summit victory over the world team.[71][72] On April 18 in the Jordan Brand Classic, he posted the only double-double with 10 points, a game-high 12 assists and 7 rebounds.[73][74]

Awards and honors

Jones was selected to the 10-man Team USA for the 17th annual

All-USA Boys Basketball Team selection and a second team All-American according to MaxPreps.[84][85]

Rankings and comparison

By the summer after his 2010–11 freshman season, he was described as the best point guard from the state of Minnesota since Khalid El-Amin.[6] Another Minnesotan who is a measuring stick for Jones is Sam Jacobson.[9] According to Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller, when he plays for Duke, Jones is likely to finish among the top 5 in the nation in assists per game but may need to work on his defense.[86]

Recruiting

Jones was one of the most sought after recruits in 2014, ranking 4th overall in ESPN's top 100, behind eventual teammate

Myles Turner, and Cliff Alexander.[87] He was a 2014 USA Today second team All-USA Boys Basketball Team selection. Two years prior to being recruited, Jones made a pact with Okafor to one day play at the same college together.[88] Jones received scholarship offers from Duke, Baylor, Kentucky, Minnesota, Kansas, Michigan State, and Ohio State.[89] Despite playing high school basketball just a short distance from the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities, Jones never granted Minnesota an official visit. In 2013, Jones made official visits to Baylor on August 31, Kentucky on September 2, Kansas on October 19, and Duke on October 26. On October 31, just a few days after finishing his official visits, Jones appeared on  a radio show on WGVX-FM 105.1 Minneapolis, and listed Kansas, Baylor and Duke as his top three schools, leaving the hometown Gophers off of his list.[88]

Shortly after, Jones and Okafor narrowed their list down to Duke and Kansas.[90] On November 15, 2013, Jones and Okafor appeared on ESPNU to announce their decision. ESPN's Adam Finkelstein described the decision as "making college basketball history" with their joint commitment to the Duke University men's basketball team. Though it was thought that he might follow Jones and Okafor, Cliff Alexander announced his commitment to Kansas shortly after. On November 22, Justise Winslow announced he would join Jones and Okafor at Duke, marking the third player in ESPN's top 15 recruits to commit to Duke that year. Grayson Allen, the 21st ranked player in that class, later joined Jones, Okafor, and Winslow.
