Atlanta-native, Jared Coleman-Jones is the most polished big man in college basketball. Coleman-Jones is an elite playmaker and passer out of the post with generational footwork, next-level athleticism & the patience of a ten-year NBA veteran; not to mention that the 6'10, 240lb junior shot an unreal 44.2% (!!!) from behind-the-arc, which was a team-best for Middle Tennessee this past season. Coleman-Jones also led his team in rebounds (251), assists (75), blocks (35), and free throws made (91/118) while being just fifth in minutes played for the Blue Raiders. After nearly tripling all of his major-category statistics from the previous year, Coleman-Jones was recognized with All Conference-USA Honors at the conclusion of this season.
JCJ has an NBA-ready game and the flat-out talent of a first round draft pick. He started his career at Northwestern University before transferring to Middle Tennessee after the COVID-19 pandemic to be closer to family. Coleman-Jones won a state championship alongside Sharife Cooper & Isaac Okoro in 2019 to conclude a 32-0 senior year at McEachern High School (GA). Should he declare for the 2024 NBA Draft, JCJ would undoubtedly be one of the most skilled big man in this year's class.
