Steady and reliable.
Those are two of the key characteristics the Grizzlies appreciated most in Tyus Jones when they prioritized the emerging point guard in free agency this past summer.
And those same traits have first-year coach Taylor Jenkins confident that Jones will soon find a comfort zone in a new NBA home and emerge from a sluggish start to the season. Jones looks to build on some encouraging signs from his most recent outing when the Grizzlies (1-5) wrap up a three-game homestand with Wednesday’s matchup against the Timberwolves (4-2).
There’s certainly some added incentive to deliver a bit of a breakthrough.
