Jones is a very good rebounder and has a strong mid-level jumper. She has not developed into the dominant player I expected coming into this season, mainly because of her propensity to turn the ball over with poor decisions. I'm not sure if it's poor vision or inattention. In the UCLA game, she had one sequence when she attempted to pass the ball to Wilson on the wing while Cho was standing between the two. Cho easily intercepted the pass and started up the court and Jones fouled her at mid-court. Tara immediately signaled for one of the Hulls to replace Jones.
Earlier in the season, Tara would leave Jones in the game after a number of plays like this. This hurt us in some games and may well have been a major contributor to our 2 losses. I'm glad to see that Tara is quick to pull Jones when she exhibits this kind of play. We have a talented enough bench to fill the void when Jones is out.
If Jones could learn to take better care of the ball, she could be as dominant as any player in the nation.
