Kevin O'Neill made one thing clear today at Pac-12 Men's Basketball Media Day: Maurice Jones is indispensable.
The sophomore point guard will have to carry the 2011-12 USC Trojans on his 5'7", 155 pound frame. The head coach predicted his only true ball handler, in the absence of the injured Jio Fontan, will play all 40 minutes per game.
Plus, he wants Jones to have the mentality to score 30 points per game, while dishing out 10 assists. While those numbers seem astronomical, Jones has to bring that kind of aggressive mindset to the floor night in and night out.
Here are Coach KO and Mo Jones in front of the assembled media at LA Live...
