Last Week’s Stats: 10.0 ppg, 70.0 FG%, 66.7 3FG%
Jones was a key contributor to Central Connecticut’s 2-0 record last week. Behind a combined 70.0 percent effort from the field (7-of-10), including a sizzling 6-of-9 clip from long range, the redshirt freshman averaged 10.0 points in a pair of double-digit wins over Chicago State on Thursday and Wagner on Saturday. A native of North Babylon, NY, Jones came two points shy of his career-high total of 13 against the Cougars for his third double-figure scoring game of the season. Two days later against the Seahawks, the guard was feeling it from long range as he knocked down 3-of-4 three-point field goal attempts to finish with nine points. Jones, who is shooting the three-ball at a 39.0 percent clip this year, is averaging 4.5 points in 9.9 minutes for the Blue Devils. Of the 14 Influxer/NEC Rookie of the Week honors handed out this season, Central Connecticut has claimed a league-leading six awards with Ashton Reynolds earning three, Jones securing two and Elijah Parker taking home the distinction once.
