Elijah Jones gives UTEP a versatile, scoring-minded frontcourt presence
Jones has emerged as a reliable two-way forward for UTEP, averaging **13.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks** per game in his breakout junior season, while also leading the Miners in three-point percentage and ranking among the team’s top scorers.[13] He has a clear fit for teams that value a forward who can stretch the floor, finish efficiently and protect the rim without needing the offense built around him.[13][16] The biggest differentiator is his blend of outside touch and interior physicality, plus the steady production that earned him All-Conference USA honorable mention.[13]
