The best dunker no one knows left for New Orleans keeping the game plan to himself. Suns rookie Derrick Jones Jr. is about to dunk on the world stage, one of four in Saturday's Verizon Dunk Contest, and one thing he'll have is the element of surprise.
"Honestly, I have no idea right now,'' Jones said of his dunking strategy before leaving Phoenix. "I'm still brainstorming things. I’m practicing. In regards to my routine, I still have yet to figure it out."
Jones is one of three Suns players participating in All-Star weekend. Guard Devin Booker and forward Marquese Chriss will participate in Friday's BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge.
