Very different players...
Buchanan was more of a 4 who could develop into a wing. Buchanan relies on his athleticism, whereas Jones is all strength. Jones is already a much better shooter at the same stage, and likely stays that way. Jones is a 5 all the way, not sure where others are getting he might be a 4

Probably just based on the fact that he's 6'8 and not 6:10+**
