Jones has done such a great job playing his role with this very talented roster. As the backup PG, Jones does an incredible job running the show while balancing his own self-creation in the process. Defensively, Jones does a great job getting underneath, causing disruption to opposing ball handlers. Jones can make off the dribble three’s at an efficient rate which allow him to get by defenders when they close out where he’s a really crafty finisher and passer when attacking the rim.
