Gary West Side High School (IN) is home to one of the top 2009 prospects in the Midwest in 6'4" SF DeShawn Clay of Gary West Side High School (IN), but it's also home to one of the top sophomores in the Midwest as well in 6'3" PG Xavier Jones!
When I say Jones can get to the rack, that's an understatement. Whether it's going left, going right, splitting defenders, crossing over opposing guards, or just physically dominating the opposing guards, Jones is unstoppable time after time as he just attacks the rim relentlessly.
The big, strong, aggressive Jones is one of the toughest and most physical young PG prospects on the circuit right now as he plays with a lot of East Coast flavor in that he just attacks the rim and will also stroke some mid range jumpers if left open. He didn't display his perimeter range but one thing is for certain, Jones is a very very difficult cover for opposing guards and a big time talent in terms of attacking the rim and finishing on the offensive end.
Jones is definitely one of the top Class of 2010 prospects in the Midwest to take note of this upcoming Grassroots travel season.
