Jones has claimed five of the nine Big Sky Player of the Week awards so far this season.

Maybe more impressively, he is the Wildcats leader in points, rebounds, assists, and steals through 15 games. The only major stat that Jones doesn’t lead in is blocks which is led by center Alex Tew.

Another week, another Player of the Week honor for Dillon Jones!

Led the ‘Cats to two wins in the Big Sky-Summit Challenge last week.

It’s his 5th Player of the Week honor this season and the 13th of his career!
