After victories over the PBA’s Terrafirma Dyip and Blackwater Bossing, Jones is set to make his EASL debut on Wednesday in an away contest against Hong Kong Eastern. He will team up with SMB’s other import, Quincy Miller, a former NBA player for the Denver Nuggets, Sacramento Kings, and Detroit Pistons. Miller is averaging 20 points and 5.5 rebounds across two EASL games this season.

Before turning pro, Jones was a top-100 recruit at La Lumiere in Indiana, USA, and played collegiately at Missouri, Fresno State, and William Penn University.
