Imagine your orders with free goodies, Bruce Pearl & Co. would likely think their signing of Denver Jones. The FIU transfer, with a shooting average of 47.8% and a 37.1% accuracy from the three-point range, was just the perfect addition for Auburn, looking to build a team for the future in the 2022-23 season.
To the Auburn coaches’ surprise, which was revealed a bit later, they also signed a versatile weapon in Jones. While many applauded Denver’s offensive game, Auburn coaches also praised his lockdown defense on opposing guards. “You may not notice him as much in the stat sheet,” Pearl said earlier this season. “But every coach and every scout notices him as one of the best defensive guards in the country.” Hard to earn praises from Coach Pearl, but Denver Jones deserves it.
Taking a second fiddle role to Johni Broome, Jones had been effective quietly. Mimicking Stephen Curry’s ‘night night’ celebration or locking down former SEC player of the year Mark Sears – Denver has done it all. There’s no question he has given the Tigers an X-factor few teams have.
Jones had no choice but to be a scorer at FIU, but at Auburn? He has showcased his two-way capabilities. Check out how his move to Auburn benefitted him commercially, landing NIL deals.
