Defensive Spark Plug with Limited Offensive Punch for UTRGV Vaqueros
In the 2023-24 season, guard Roy Jones III averaged 0.8 PPG, 1.2 REB, 1.1 AST, and 1.1 STL over 18 games in 15.3 MPG for UT Rio Grande Valley, showcasing elite defensive instincts (1.1 SPG) and playmaking that outshine his rough 18.5% FG shooting. A hardworking, highly competitive recruit from his NCSA profile who prides himself on lockdown D, Jones brings intensity and steals (up to 2.0 SPG in HS) without injury red flags—perfect bench energy for teams needing gritty perimeter defenders over scorers.
