8. DeVante Jones

The reigning Sun Belt Player of the Year, who is currently a Michigan Wolverine, showed well on both ends of the court although he did struggle with turnovers. Jones demonstrated an ability to score a variety of ways, particularly around the basket and mid-range – (floaters, one-legged fadeaways, back-door cut).

The 6-1 point guard also did a good job distributing and rebounding the ball. However, sometimes he plays too fast and was careless with the basketball at other times. Expect Jones to be in Ann Arbor this season to work on his ball-handling and being more consistent overall, but particularly shooting from deep.

G-League Elite Stats: 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.5 steals, and 4.0 turnovers. He connected on 7 of 12 (58.3%)shots overall as well as 5 of 6 (83.3%) from the charity stripe.

7. Jose Alvarado

The 6-foot skilled point guard has kept his options open and could return to Georgia Tech for a fifth season. Alvarado demonstrated his ball-handling and passing prowess in both games while also showing off the ability to knock down jumpers on a consistent basis, particularly from deep off the dribble.

He was also outstanding defensively as he “dogged” opposing point guards. He probably helped his draft stock, if he decides to remain in the NBA draft and is potential late-second-round draft choice.

G-League Elite Camp stats: 8.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.0 turnover,  and 1.5 blocks.He was  6 of14 from the field (42.6%), 3 of 6 (50%) from the 3-point line, and 1 of 2 (50%) from the charity stripe.
