Alexis Jones (born May 8, 1994) is an American professional basketball player who played for the Atlanta Dream in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She was drafted in 2017 by the Lynx. Born in Midland, Texas, she played college basketball for Duke University, before she transferred to Baylor University.

College career

Duke University

Coming out of high school, Jones was ranked the No. 3 overall recruit by ESPN and signed with Duke. During her freshman season, she started for the Blue Devils at the shooting guard position. When teammate and point guard, Chelsea Gray, went down with an injury, Jones moved over to the point guard position. Following her freshman season, Jones was named to the All-ACC Freshman of the Year, All-Freshman Team, the Norfolk All-Regional Team, and the ACC Tournament MVP. Jones became just the third freshman in ACC history to be named ACC Tournament MVP.

During her sophomore season, Jones started 28 games before tearing her ACL during a game versus Notre Dame. During a game versus Florida State, Jones tied the school record for assists in a single game with 15. She also received Second Team All-ACC status from the coaches for averaging 13.1 ppg, 5.3 apg, and 4.1 rpg, before her injury.

Following her sophomore campaign, Jones announced that she intended to transfer from Duke to be closer to home. Ultimately, Jones decided to transfer to Baylor University.

Baylor University

Due to the NCAA Transfer Rules, Jones sat out the 2014–2015 season for the Baylor Bears. This gave her time to recover from her ACL surgery that she had from her sophomore season.

During her junior season, Jones made her Baylor debut against UT-Arlington, where she recorded 15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. Her impact was felt right away at Baylor. She started in 34 of 38 games, was one of the three team MVPS, was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, First Team All-Big 12, and was the Most Outstanding Player of the Big 12 Championship Tournament.

During her senior season, Jones once again made an impact on the Baylor season. She finished second in scoring and assists. But once again she had to sit out part of the season due to injury. Jones had gotten a bruised knee that caused her to miss time towards the end of the season. She was able to make it back in time for the NCAA Tournament. Despite the injury, Jones was named to the First Team All-Big 12 Team, which she received unanimously.
