Derrick Jones Jr. is no stranger to high-level competition.
Between seeing action in 38 games with the Phoenix Suns in 2016-17, and splitting his time with the Miami Heat and Sioux Falls Skyforce this past year, the swingman has seen what NBA basketball offers.
More than that, he’s embraced the chance to thrive in it.
Jones may not have made a tremendous impact on the league just yet, but the potential to do so is there. Especially now that Miami has signed him to a two-year deal; quite an upgrade from the two-way contract he was on last season.
