In case you are unfamiliar with Myles' background, here are the money quotes:


The kid whom Reggie [his father] still addresses as "Jones" has grown up. He's not nearly as shy and sensitive as the youthful Myles, who would get upset after running over smaller players on the soccer field. He's every bit as gifted as the 10th-grader who was good enough to play AAU basketball with future Orlando Magic forward Tobias Harris.

Jones also is as versatile as the teenager who, besides being an all-league quarterback on Long Island's north shore at Walt Whitman High in Huntington, N.Y., scored more than 1,000 career points. He was a point guard who could play any position needed, and he did it well enough to be named league MVP and All-Long Island.

At 6-foot-4, 240 pounds, circa 2014, Jones is at once an imposing and affable young man at age 21. He could pass easily for a tight end on Duke's football roster. But lacrosse is his game, and Jones' skillful hands, quick feet, sharp vision and cool demeanor define his striking presence on his chosen field
