Drayton Jones gives Butler a legit interior anchor with real two-way pop
Drayton Jones, a 6-foot-11 center, looks like a strong fit for Butler because he brings efficient scoring, rebounding, and defensive grit inside; in the 2025-26 season at Butler, he averaged 6.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and shot 58.6% from the field, after earning All-MEAC first-team and all-defensive honors in 2024-25 at South Carolina State. His calling card is low-post efficiency and rim protection, and the bigger takeaway is simple: he’s a physical, high-motor frontcourt piece who can help a team by doing the dirty work, not just chasing highlights.
