The Miami Heat have done it again. They took what another team thought was expendable, and turned it into something exemplary. The player in question here is none other than the springy Derrick Jones Jr., or as he is best known, Airplane Mode.
Jones Jr. is a freak athlete. While the first thing that immediately jumps out at you is his tremendous leaping ability, the fourth year lefty out of UNLV is also very long and rangy. At 6’7″, with his length and explosiveness, it is no wonder the Miami Heat saw individual tools that they could help turn into a complete set.
