Good improvements over the last season. Shot more efficiently from all areas, turned it over less, upped the assist numbers, and although he is occasionally completely overwhelmed defensively, he will always give it a go. Although he does not have Dunn’s potential, Jones did play better than him this past season, and may well be worthy of a full-time back-up spot, to see if he makes it.
Player Plan: Two years of rookie scale salary remaining. At this stage, he might develop into a regular back-up point, or he might not; give him next season to find out.
