NASSAU, Bahamas — A little more than two minutes into Sunday’s exhibition, Christian Jones missed a jumper, charged after the rebound and put the basketball in the hoop.
He was brought to UNLV as much for his veteran leadership as his skills on the court, but as he showed in the 80-79 loss to the University of Toronto at Sir Kendal Isaacs Gym, Jones is quite capable of leading by example as well.
Jones, a graduate transfer from St. John’s, finished with 16 points and 15 rebounds.
“It’s not really numbers for me, it’s what I have to do for us to win,” Jones said.
