Jones is trying hard to contribute to Sono Archery Basketball.
Goyang Sono has been conducting off-season training at Vivaldi Park in Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do since the 11th, and Jeon Sung-hyun and Lee Jung-hyun have been selected for the men’s basketball team, but foreign players are joining. Gerod Jones (206 centimeters), the first option foreign player to play for Sono this season, is also trying to adapt to the team.
Jones, whom we met after training on the afternoon of the 12th, said, “A lot has happened since joining the team. He needs to improve his physical condition and learn tactics. There is also a need to get closer to his colleagues. He tries to enjoy these things. “It seems to be going well so far, and there are about 5 weeks left until the KBL Cup, so the key is to maintain good physical condition as it is a prelude to the season,” he said.
Jones experienced the KBL while playing for Suwon KT last season. He joined as a substitute foreign player and averaged 18.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 28 minutes and 41 seconds in 32 regular league games. So, what was Sono (formerly Goyang Carrots) like as the opposing team?
“This is a 3-point shooting team. Jeon Seong-hyun is the representative player, and there is also a great guard named Lee Jeong-hyeon. Currently, unlike last season, the team situation has improved a lot. This is also why I signed with this team. “I think it will be easier to adapt because I have matched up with players like Choi Hyun-min.” Jones says.
Jones’ biggest strength is his 3-point shooting. Sono is also promoting 3-point shooting as its main offensive option, with Jeon Seong-hyun at its center. Therefore, it is expected that Jones and coach Seung-gi Kim will be a good match.
“I really like the attacking style,” Jones said. I don’t limit myself to being a shooter. He can show sufficient competitiveness even under the goal. Above all, I heard that coach Kim Seung-gi gives a lot of autonomy to the players. “He will be confident and do his best to help the team win,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sono’s second option foreign player is Anthony Bennett. Bennett is the first NBA draft pick to enter the KBL. Although Jones and Bennett cannot play together on the court, they must integrate well into the team to achieve good results.
Regarding this, Jones said, “I think there will be a good synergy effect. There are various types of foreign players in KBL. There are players who have the advantage of playing on the outside with skill, and there are players who specialize in playing under the goal with power. “Personally, since Bennett and I can play both inside and outside, I think we will be able to gain an advantage in matchups with foreign players from the opposing team,” he said.
