The Oklahoma City Thunder selected Dillon Jones with the No. 26 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft in a trade with the New York Knicks. It is time to grade the pick.
The Oklahoma City Thunder traded back into the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft, after entering the night with just the No. 12 selection - which they used on high-upside guard Nikola Topic - the Thunder went and got pick No. 26 from the New York Knicks
Jones is a 6-foot-4 guard but compensates for the lack of pure height with his 6-foot-11 wingspan and sturdy 237-pound frame. The Weber State product can be listed as a guard but plays more like a forward with guard skills. The 22-year-old is a prolific pick-and-roll defender ranking in the 97th percentile while also finding success shutting down spot-up chances where he ranks in the 77th percentile according to Synergy.
