When Tre Jones started to get consistent minutes last season once Derrick White was traded, he seemed like the safe prospect he was in college. The lead guard was extremely turnover averse, only took shots he was comfortable with and relied on his floor game to be useful.
This year, as Dejounte Murray was shipped out and no replacement was acquired, he has been asked to do a lot more than that. While there have been some ups and downs, the most interesting aspect of Jones’ season so far has been the revelation that he could actually be better suited for a faster, more aggressive style on offense than previously thought, especially as a passer.
