“After a solid showing at the King City Classic, Jamail Jones didn't miss a beat coming to Orlando. The 6-foot-6 solidly built wing was a scoring dynamo for Hoop Planet. He had his outside shot working, and on top of that he used his strength at times down low. More often than not though, Jones just pulled up from behind the arc and it was pure almost every time he released it. In the first half alone Jones had 18 of his team's 23 points, and the scoring was much of the same in the second half.” Rivals.com article by Brian Snow
