The Duke basketball point guard, Tre Jones, was one of the finalists for the Bob Cousy Award Watch List as one of the best point guards in the country.

All Duke fans know that Tre Jones is one of the best point guards in America and now the sophomore is being acknowledged for his outstanding play this season by being one of ten finalists for the Bob Cousy Award.

Jones was named to the late season watch list for the award given to the best point guard in the country as well as the late season Wooden Award Watch List, alongside his teammate Vernon Carey Jr.
