UNLV freshman Derrick Jones is quickly earning a reputation for his explosive dunks.
In May, Jones jumped over four people during a high school dunk contest. On Monday, he soared toward the hoop for highlight dunk against Division II New Mexico Highlands University.
Jones caught a pass on the right wing, took a few dribbles and took off from the edge of the paint while four defenders converged on him.
