Jones Jr accepted an invitation to participate in the 2017 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest last week. He joins a field including Aaron Gordon and other first time participants DeAndre Jordan and Glenn Robinson III. Notably missing from the field is two-time defending champion Zach Lavine (who unfortunately will miss the rest of the season with an ACL injury). With Lavine out of this year’s contest, Gordon is seen as a heavy favorite. However, I think Jones Jr not only has a shot to do well in the contest, but I think he will upset Gordon and win the whole thing.
