Evaluation

USA U16 Trials-May 09: Alexis Jones was all over the court throughout the trials. The Texan is a 5-9 combo guard and was as close to a lock-down defender as you will find at this age. She had some fantastic battles playing the hyper-quick Jewell Loyd in a couple of scrimmages. The Irving MacArthur High School star creates a lot of offense with her dominant play on the defensive end. She can rip the ball away from the ballhandler and is great in jumping passing lanes as well. She hit some shots late in the trials, but her inconsistent ability to finish early on kept her from getting over the hump for a guard spot on the roster.

Boo Williams-April 09: For those opposing coaches looking forward to DFW T-Jack's Odyssey Sims graduating after this year, here's a pleasant thought. Her MacArthur high-school teammate is already on board and looks to have all the same potential and maybe even more. Alexis Jones has talent and athleticism like you ordered it off a room service menu. Aggressive and explosive at 5-9, she creates and gets into the paint almost at will. Just to keep you honest, she also has the range to force you to come out on her. She anticipates well defensively and has the foot speed to stay in front of almost any player on the perimeter. Recruiters need to go ahead and take a number.
