Fall Focus: Matt Jones

DURHAM, N.C. - Classes are in session and the weather is starting to turn. Across the nation, college basketball players are balancing classes and conditioning with an increased workload on the court.

Summer sessions, and the grueling work that comes with them on the court and in the weight room, are in the rearview mirrior.

Fall is a time for focus.

Episode 3: Matt Jones
Matt Jones is not flashy. He does not draw attention to himself. Make no mistake, however. Matt Jones is one of the unquestioned leaders of the Duke men's basketball program.

Named a captain for the second year in a row, Jones was a vital role player on Duke's 2015 national championship team before blossoming into a double-figure scorer as a junior in 2015-16. He has developed into one of the ACC's top perimeter performers on both ends of the floor, shooting better than 41 percent from outside the arc over the last two seasons while hounding opposing guards as a tenacious defender.

Today, we put the Fall Focus on Matt Jones.
