INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Anderson senior guard Myson Jones is among the 251 nominees for the 2015 Allstate NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams,® as the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and Allstate Insurance Company today announced the nominees.

This prestigious community service award recognizes a distinguished group of student-athletes who have demonstrated a commitment to enriching the lives of others and contributing to the greater good in their communities.

Jones, a 5-foot-9 guard, started all 32 games for the Trojans a year ago and is leading the team in scoring this season by averaging 16 points per game. As a junior, Jones led the team with 3.53 assists per game and in 3-point field-goal accuracy (44.0 percent). He ranked fourth in the South Atlantic Conference in 3-point field goals and fifth in 3-point field goal percentage and was sixth in the league with an 83.7 percent free throw percentage last season.

The native of Aiken, S.C. has scored a career-high 22 points on four occasions, including the Lenoir-Rhyne contest earlier this season and has reached double figures in the scoring column 31 times during his career. Jones dished out the assist on former standout Chandler Hash's game-winner in AU's 85-84 win over Queens last January and drained the game-winning basket that gave the Trojans an 83-81 home victory past Carson-Newman.

Jones is joined by Coker's Deion Craig as nominees from the SAC.

College sports information directors and basketball coaches across the country nominated players who exhibit exceptional leadership skills and an unwavering commitment to volunteerism. From the 158 NABC nominees and 93 WBCA nominees, distinguished voting panels will select two 10-member teams comprised of five student-athletes from the NCAA® Division I level and five student-athletes from NCAA Divisions II, III and the NAIA. The final roster of 20 award recipients will be unveiled in February.

For the third year, the Allstate NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams® help spotlight the off-the-court good works and service to others that often goes unnoticed and unrewarded. From creating organizations benefitting at-risk youth to volunteering overseas to help impoverished communities, there are countless remarkable stories of service among this year's group of nominees. As full-time students and athletes, these players choose to dedicate their limited free time to improving the lives of those around them.

Members of the Allstate NABC Good Works Team® will be invited by Allstate, an official corporate partner of the NCAA, to the 2015 NABC Convention and 2015 NCAA Men's Final Four® in Indianapolis, where they will participate in a community project benefitting the host city. Members of the Allstate WBCA Good Works Team® will be recognized during the 2015 WBCA Convention and at the 2015 NCAA Women's Final Four® in Tampa Bay, and will also participate in a local community project. Allstate is an official corporate partner of the NABC, WBCA and NCAA.
