I hope you're right, but I think it's a lot to ask of a freshman (basically) who is 6'8" to play guard in the B10. Not only would he have to defend smaller guys, but he'd have to be a decent passer and decision maker on offense, and, on top on that, score around 10 points a game for him to meet the expectations of many. I actually think he would be more suited to small forward and would have less competition for PT.
I mean he will play on the wing offensively, on and off ball, and defensively he will guard 2 through 4 most of the time I would think.

The reality is none of our guards can really guards the conventional “1”. So Jones will fit right in as a good off ball defender and probably average at best on ball defender to start with.
