Where the article says "over state powerhouses DeLaSalle — featuring Reid Travis — and Hopkins", there should not be spaces around em-dashes.

WP:LEAD: Done

Fix First sentence (WP:LEADSENTENCE).
- Definition and notability should be in the first sentence (WP:BETTER). I recommend the following revision :
- Tyus Jones (born May 10, 1996) is an American basketball player who is ranked among the top 5 players in the national class of 2014 by Rivals.com, Scout.com and ESPN.[1][2][3] He is a Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) Class 4A state champion, two-time Minnesota Associated Press Boys Basketball Player of the Year and two-time Minnesota Boys Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year. He is playing his senior season for Apple Valley High School during the 2013–14 season. He has given a verbal commitment to the Duke University men's basketball team as a package with Jahlil Okafor and will be a freshman for the 2014–15 team.
  - O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:02, 4 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Fix Length (WP:LEADLENGTH). Lead can be expanded to reflect more information detailed in the body.

WP:LAYOUT: Done

Fix Headings and sections (MOS:BODY).
- Use a different heading for section Early life. I recommend High school.
  - Done.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:13, 4 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
- To improve the flow of the prose, I recommend removing Heading 4 2013 offseason.
