#1. Bryce Jones, a 31-year-old point guard standing at 6'0'' who graduated from Murray State in 2017, has an impressive basketball background. He previously played at Jones JC between 2014 and 2015, where he earned recognition by receiving the NJCAA D1 All-Region XXIII Team award. Currently, he is showcasing his skills playing professionally in Greece. In a recent game, Jones, despite his notable performance, was unable to lead Aris to victory as they were narrowly defeated 102-99 by the higher-ranked AEK (#4) on the road. He contributed significantly by scoring 14 points, making an impressive 9 assists, and displaying flawless accuracy by converting all nine of his free throw attempts, all within 32 minutes of play. This season marks Jones' debut with the team, and he has been delivering consistently strong performances. Against AEK, he exhibited his talents by scoring 14 points, securing 3 rebounds, and distributing 9 assists. However, despite his commendable efforts, his team fell short of securing the win. Jones has been excelling individually throughout the season, boasting impressive averages of 15.2 points per game, 3.0 rebounds per game, 5.4 assists per game (ranking fourth best in the league), and 1.3 steals per game. His remarkable statistics reflect his valuable contributions to the team. It is worth noting that Jones previously participated in the Eurobasket Summer League, known as a top summer league for players aspiring to pursue basketball opportunities overseas. His experience in such a competitive environment has likely contributed to his development as a skilled player.
