2021 Draft Profile - Kai Jones

Kyle Boone CBS Sports - June 21st: "An elite athlete with tons of physical tools, Jones is one of the X-factors of the draft as a true boom-or-bust talent. His ceiling is limitless but his floor is virtually nonexistent."

Chad Ford - NBA Big Board - June 18: "Despite being a 20-year-old sophomore, he looks a few years away from being an impact player. But his combination of size, athleticism and skill is intriguing enough for a team to make an investment here."

NBA Draft Room - June 18th: "He might take some time to develop but at this point in the draft you swing for the fences with a high upside athlete like Kai."

Ricky O'Donnell SB Nation - June 17: "The 6’11 big man flashed astounding athletic fluidity in transition, a surprising three-point stroke on low volume, and enticing help-side rim protection. His tools are undeniable, but he’s still learning how to use them."

Tyler Byrum and Chase Hughes NBC Sports - June 14: "He stands at 6-foot-11 with a 7-foot-1 wingspan and brings a ton of energy to the floor on every possession. Additionally, he is one of the best all-around athletes in this class."

Kevin O'Connor The Ringer - June: "Excellent straight-line driver with unusually smooth moves for a player his size. Has a natural feel for shifting gears and changing directions—plus, the footwork to occasionally unleash a Euro-step."

Jonathan Givony ESPN - May 25: "Jones is a versatile defender who showed some promise as a floor spacer to complement his rim-running, offensive rebounding and finishing prowess, giving him plenty of upside to grow into long term."
