EIU’s veteran shot-maker who brings spacing, poise, and instant value
In the 2012-13 season, Taylor Jones was a steady Eastern Illinois guard, averaging 5.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists while hitting 37 threes and shooting 45.1% from deep in OVC play, which screams “floor spacer” and “smart complementary piece.” He also finished that season at 85.3% from the line, suggesting a reliable touch in pressure moments. The differentiator here is efficiency and versatility, not volume: if your team needs a disciplined guard who can stretch defenses, move the ball, and avoid empty possessions, Jones fits neatly.
