Le Saviez-vous ?
Jones was a second-round pick who immediately earned All-Defensive Second Team honors as a rookie — one of the most remarkable defensive impacts by any late-round pick in NBA history.
He is from Greensboro, Alabama — Hale County — a rural community that produced one of the finest defensive players of his generation.
Jones is one of the most underrated players in the league by casual fans — coaches and insiders consistently rank him among the top defensive wings.
He almost exclusively covers opposing teams' best perimeter scorer — a testament to how much his coaches trust his defensive ability.
