Swiss Central Basket Luzern (SBL) strengthened their roster with addition of experienced 36-year old American guard Jermale Jones (185cm-1986, college: Tuskegee) for season 2023-24. It is actually his comeback to Luzern as he has played here before. Jones played last season at Tigers in Thailand TBL league. In four ASEAN League games he recorded 11.8ppg, 1.5rpg, 2.5apg and 1.3spg.
He is quite experienced player. Thanks to his pro career he managed to play on four different continents (Europe, Asia, Africa and of course North America) in five different countries. Jones has played previously professionally in Germany (Licher Basket and SSV Lok Bernau), Iraq (Nift Al-Shamal), Luxembourg (Black Star), Romania (Politehnica Iasi) and Libya (Al Morog).
He played in the final of Swiss NLB in 2021.
He is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas.
Jones graduated from Tuskegee University in 2009 and it will be his 15th (!!!) season as a professional player. He played also for Lawson State Community College for 2 years.
The scouts decsribe him following way: Outstanding perimeter shooter with nice athletic skills. Great Defender. Passes the ball very well. Has high level experience in college in the SIAC. Jones is a scoring machine that can shoot and score bunches very quickly. He was a total team player who could hit the deep ball but pass as well.
