Jones maintains a 3.2 GPA in history with a minor in anthropology. He’s a three-time member of the Big Sky All-Academic team as well as a three-time recipient of the Golden Eagle Scholar-Athlete Award. Jones was also chosen to the 2009-10 NABC Honors Court.
Character

“Cameron is a positive role model to the youngsters in the Flagstaff community,” head coach Mike Adras said. “Everyone would be proud to have a son like Cameron Jones.”
Community

Jones has been involved in several community-service projects in the Flagstaff community. He has volunteered weekly at a local elementary school (30 hours for the semester) and worked for the Flagstaff Community Food Bank as a volunteer (10 hours). Jones also participated in single-day events including Toys for Tots, Red Ribbon Week, campus move-in and Student-Athlete for a Day, in which elementary students visit campus and attend class with a student-athlete mentor.
Competition

After his junior season, Jones was a unanimous selection to the All-Big Sky first team. In 2009 he made the All-Big Sky second team and he’s a two-time recipient of the Joe Rolle team MVP award. Last year Jones was the only player in the Big Sky to rank among the top 16 in points, rebounds, assists and field-goal percentage, including ranking second in the league with 19.3 points per game.

Looks like Curry filling our center need and this guy brought in to compete at Guard. My guess is shooting guard. Lets see what Landry Field's cousin can do. He is 6'4" 190 declared for the draft in 2010 but withdrew and went back to graduate as a senior.

Here is a thread for all training camp talks and please feel free to post the interviews and other videos that take place during the mini training camp!


Hopefully Eddy Curry is in good shape, I want want Norris Cole to really show out today too so he can break the rookie curse that Spo has placed on us! Pittman too after his hard work last year he needs to show what he has accomplished and try to out run Eddy Curry to prove he is in shape too.Hopefully Lebron doesn't break any fingers this year around.

Great idea for this thread. NBATV will be covering Training Camps starting at 2 p.m. today. We should get a mod to bump in that Cameron Jones thread.

Who'd have thought the Heat would enter training camp quiet as a thief in the night with the media storm blowing everywhere but Miami?

He even looks similar to Landry... funny.

How's his defense? He looks good in that video though, I like his moves. Nice stats too.

No Bibby, no Dampier? Thank you!

So when are we going to find out about training camp, or get some pictures/video. It's nearly 4 PM on the East Coast. I've been waiting all day...

Cameron Jones seems like an nonathletic Rip Hamilton.

Mustapha Farrakhan should be invited...he's sick.

I started hammering some journalists that cover the Heat on twitter. Haberstroh was nice enough to reply, despite me being a d*** lol.

@letsgowolves1 Maybe that's because training camp hasn't been opened up to the media. So coverage technically hasn't even started. Breathe.

No Eddy Curry at training camp today. No Battier either. Same old, same old.


You have to be kidding me! :banghead: That's it, I'm convince Eddy Curry does not exist.
