QUOTE

Rivals.com chief scout Jerry Meyer talked to The Oregonian about Jones' game:

"(Jones) is a prototypical skilled '4' man. And that's a great thing to be in today's game. Those guys are having success. The game's getting smaller. It's a four (players) inside, one out type of game. So (players) who can do the various things Terrence can do are very valuable."
