According to Asia-Basket, the product of the University of South Florida Bulls had a spectacular 66.7 percent shooting clip from the 2-point range and connected two of his three attempts from beyond the arc region. Jones also went perfect from the foul line making all of the 15 free shots awarded to him during the game.

He has guided the Chinese professional basketball club to its sixth win in 14 games played after eight weeks since the regular season kicked off last October. The Eagles currently sits on the 12th spot of the league's team standings.

Jones, who has been a notable scorer during his collegiate days, is in the CBA's top in points. He is the league's ninth leading scorer averaging 31.6 points per outing. The 2010 NBA Draft 25th overall pick has a solid average of .0557 field goal percentage for this season.

Jones, who is listed 6-foot-5-inches tall (1.96 meters) and weighs 215 pounds (98 kilograms), is playing for his fourth Chinese side in the biggest professional basketball league in Asia. He previously played for Liaoning Flying Leopards (2013-2014 season) and Jilin Northeastern Tigers (2014-2015 season) before fitting in for the team of Shanxi Zhongyu in the league's last season.
