Sincere Jones 6’3 170 2025 Churchland HS (VA) / Virginia Wolves 14U AAU
Sincere is a strong and athletic wing who thrives in the mid-range offensively and provides plenty of defensive versatility. He has a solid frame featuring broad shoulders and a long wingspan. He has a strong upper body and powerful legs. He is a very good shot maker with most of his production in the middle both off the dribble and while playing off the ball. Sincere has outstanding shot mechanics and a smooth stroke. He is strong with the ball as he attacks space and is a solid finisher. Finishes through contact and has a powerful leaping ability allowing him to finish above the rim. Also a very good euro step among his finishing moves.
The most impressive part of his offensive game is his ability to knock down shots off the dribble. Sincere uses his strong frame and creates space nicely and elevates into the jumper getting excellent lift and displaying sound fundamentals. He has a great feel first of all but he is fundamentally solid which gives him comfort when pulling up off the dribble or using a hesitation and exploding to the rim. His footwork is solid, he has the ball in his pocket and his technique just allows him to play quicker as he steps in off the dribble for a textbook pull-up jumper, a highly efficient shot in his arsenal. He moves off the ball nicely and is a shot-making threat off the ball as well. Strong finisher when cutting to the rim and receiving a pass demonstrating a great touch around the rim. Sincere’s combination of strength, size, and athleticism allows him to guard multiple positions effectively. He can guard 1-4 at the high school level easily! He is a rebounding presence in both ends of the floor and is a very good shot-blocker combining timing with explosive leaps and the ability to elevate off the floor so quickly and effortlessly. He can rebound and get coast to coast and his ability to finish around or above the rim coupled with his comfort pulling up and knocking down shots makes him a threat in transition. Sincere brings a lot of variety already and his ceiling is limitless. He has the luxury of playing for one of the top skills coaches in the state at Churchland High School is Coach Mike Holland whose pupils include the likes of NBA rookie star Cam Thomas, Providence big man, and future NBAer Nate Watson, and highly recruited high school star DJ Hand so he’s in position to continue his tremendous growth and expand on his already varied skill level.
Sincere also has the basketball DNA as his Dad Omar Jones once starred at Churchland High School and Smithfield High School during a very impressive high school career establishing himself as one of the best guards in the area. His Mom, Ernisha Williams is 6’2 and she starred on some powerhouse teams at Wilson High School under Coach Roger Smith and his cousin is former Norfolk State University point guard Kizzy Butler who also starred at Churchland HS! Churchland High School Head Coach Mike Holland has been pleased with Sincere’s development and says he expects Sincere to be an impact player as early as his sophomore season! He has the potential to follow in those lofty footsteps and I expect he will be one of the top players in Virginia in the 2025 class!
