high-usage guard with scoring burst, shot-creation, and real two-way pop
Deuce Jones II looked like a featured guard in the 2025-26 season at Saint Joseph’s, averaging 15.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 10 games while leading the Hawks in scoring[6][7]. The draw is the combo package: he can create his own shot, attack off the dribble, and bring disruptive energy defensively, with Saint Joseph’s noting his 2024-25 Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year background and top-7 New Jersey recruiting pedigree[3][14]. The concern is efficiency—his perimeter shooting and turnovers have been inconsistent—so he fits best for a team that wants a fearless, high-usage guard who can pressure defenses and compete hard every possession[1][6].
