Jones loves to do her magic right under the basket. She's good at it. IIRC, she used to do plenty of short jumpers but I think she's gotten away from that. Short jumpers don't get the fouls called on opponents.
As noted, teams have started playing off Jones and instead clogging the lane. Since she isn't doing well in games at making 3s, maybe she should again utilize the stop & pop or fade more.
If Stanford can get the opponent to clear out near the basket (which might take both Lepolo and Jones cutting through to pull an opponent with them) I like Brink's drives from the high post.
I've already suggested having Jump spend more time at the top of the arc (and some of it with the ball in her hands). Maybe put Lepolo a little lower and have her initiate cuts (backdoor or otherwise) through the lane.
More of Brink setting a high screen for Jump (with the ball) and then cutting to the basket.
Get Lepolo to take more shots, perhaps temporarily benching her when she passes up a shot she should take.
I'm not averse to Jones bringing the ball up as that's when she surveys the court. But, as she crosses the half court line, two players (Jump, Lepolo) should be crossing or circling through the lane. Scramble the defense and maybe Jones can spot a seam to cut through. But Jones should reduce her attempted highlight passes, and instead pass off to Jump or Lepolo on the perimeter, and then join in the offense movement rather than playing center field waiting for a rebound.
