Tre Jones is showing he’s a starting-caliber point guard

Related Topics: Tre Jones, Jakob Pöltl

When you look across the league, there’s a gaggle of great guards, with more and more entering the league every year. The ones at the top have the ability to completely change the game and are the reason their teams compete for and win titles — à la Steph Curry and Luka Donu010diu0107. Beneath that level, you have the ones who play a great second fiddle, the type of player that can take a game over if it’s needed but shouldn’t be the No. 1 option night after night — à la Jaylen Brown and 2016 Kyrie Irving. Then, you have the guards who bring a lot to the table, have some faults, but overall, their team is better when they’re on the court, and that’s where we come to Tre Jones.
