When Derrick Jones Jr. first joined the Miami Heat on a two-way contract last season, he immediately noticed the chemistry, the camaraderie, the connection among his new teammates.
They quickly made sure he felt like part of the team.
“It was like I was I was that little brother they haven’t seen in a while,” Jones Jr. said Monday.
The little brother has grown up between then and now, and on Wednesday, he’ll finally have his first chance to prove the Heat made the right decision signing him to a standard contract.
No more summer league.
