Older Brother Tyus. I love how poised and composed this kid plays on both ends of the court.
Tre is starting to play like.....
- Thread starter bullcity gamer
- Start date
TreY is excellent!. I couldn't be more pleased with him.

I think he is the most important piece to this team. He’s smart, clutch, and a facilitator. Much like his brother.
I think so too, FTB. He isn't the best player, ( I think Zion is), but he's what bonds them together...on both ends of the court.

15 points, 5 boards, 8 assists, 2 steals, 0 TO... that is a great stat sheet if you ask me! Especially the 0 TO.. 6-10 from the field, 3-3 from the line, 0-2 from 3..
I feel great whenever Tre has the ball. He’s gotta become more assertive all around
Not being facetious but why? Duke needs him to be stones level. I mean it’s fine if we don’t anoint him with that nickname, but he’s a baller.
And aside from a title, he’s already earning it. His poise is senior level and his offensive game is coming along nicely. He’s significantly a better defender than his bro as well.
I love what Tyus did as much as anyone, but their journeys are different and what Tyus did, shouldn’t be discounting what Tre is doing (not saying that is what you are doing at all btw).
He cams into the game with a 5 to 1 assist to turnover ratio but after tonight’s game he increased his assist to turnover ratio to 6 to 1
Tre is awesome, an excellent two way player. And he’s smart with the ball in his hands, that 5-1 A/TO is no joke!
Tre always gets to the basket when we need him to.
A comment Jay Bilas made during the game I think would be a good nickname for Tre. Jay talked about how smooth he is.
What are the chances Tre stays around for another year? I personally think, he does. Which will only make him better and develop more. Hopefully Tyus will encourage him to stay after even though Tyus was getting paid, he struggled his first couple of years.
Depends on how the year ends. He wins a ship like his brother and puts up good numbers the rest of the year, then he’s probably gone.
I don’t know, Duvall is pretty highly thought of, had some good performances. I am talking about Robert Duvall, of course.
I think we are seeing both sides of the one and done rule. Zion should be in the NBA after this year, no question he is too big and athletic for this level. Tre should be here for 4 wonderful years but the attraction of the money and being able to focus on basketball 24/7 will cause him to leave. Too bad, at least for us fans and for Duke.
I'm fine with passing down the Stones nickname to Tre. He might not always get that clutch bucket, but only because he won't be asked to. However, you can bet he will facilitate it.... And then force a turnover on the next possession.
41 assists and 8 turnovers? Yes, I'll gladly take that! Good things happen when Tre has the ball. Very, very composed. Excellent distributor, good floater, superb defense. Would love to have him for two years, but I'll glad take one year and a natty!
Through 7 games:
Tyus Jones: 42 assists - 7 TO
Tre Jones (as stated above): 41 assists - 8 TO
I’d say that’s a great start to the season, like big brother had.

Tre is what every recent Duke team has been missing. We have had a ton of talent over the past few years, but individual talent doesn't shine as bright without a glue guy, a facilitator. Tre makes Cam better, he makes Zion better, he makes RJ better. He blends our individual talents together into team talent. His on ball defense has been incredible so far, another missing component from recent teams. And when he needs to step up and make a play himself, he can do that too. Zion is our best player, I argue that Tre is our most important player.
I said something like this in the game thread, but the thing that Tre does that tyus did at Duke is how great he stays composed, nothing rattles this kid! Tre is rarely ever out of control and he lets the game come to him. When he has the ball in his hands it’s almost a sense of relief in knowing that 9 times out of 10 he will make the right play.. his Basketball IQ is high for a freshman and just like Tyus, he is only going to get better!
I don't know if he will ever dunk again at Duke. I'm sure he was harder on himself than anyone after his Miss dunk against Gonzaga. I know- let it go.
