    Coach Matt Lacey is mightily impressed with the way Hayden Jones led the junior Tall Blacks into the Under-19 World Cup semi-finals in Switzerland


    The son of former Tall Black Phill Jones had 23 points, nine rebounds, five assists and four blocks in the 84-70 quarter-final win over the hosts.
