Great CJ Story in DRC

[Harry]

He is starting to get back into the flow, Benford said. Its hard on a point guard to miss that much time, come back, have the ball handed to him and be asked to run the team. Its a process. I dont care how talented you are.

You have to be an extension of the coach. Hes calling the offense, hes calling the defense, he has to get the guys into the right spots and know where everyone is supposed to be on every play. He is getting into a routine now and is getting comfortable with that.

What Jones has realized is that for UNT to run the way he wants his Ford to run smoothly and with style he is going to have to take a lead role.

I have to be aggressive for the team, Jones said. The first couple of games of the season, I wasnt as aggressive as I used to be. When Im attacking, it opens things up for everyone else.

Benford has encouraged Jones to be aggressive because he sees the potential his point guard possesses.

Chris strength, quickness, toughness, his ability to run a team and also to score make him effective, Benford said. He has all the intangibles you need to be a quality point guard in any league.

The guys really listen to him. Hes a leader. I was telling him the other day that if hes moody, his teammates are going to be moody. If he challenges them and is vocal, they will follow suit.

Really looking forward to the rest of the season. CJ has slowly stepped up his game all year. As long as he is the leader and the coach on the floor we will be victorious.
