Damian Jones's good, but not great 2015-16 season suggests he'll be a project -- but a worthwhile one.
Damian Jones isn't having the kind of June he envisioned when he first declared for the NBA Draft last fall. A good, but not great, junior season pushed him from mock draft lotteries to the tail end of the first round. Then, a torn pectoral muscle sent him to surgery midway through the month.
But his summer is bound to get a lot better come Thursday.
Jones has been a staple of the latter end of the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft, where an established team like the Warriors, Spurs, or Raptors could give him the time and space to develop into an effective pro.
