Tyus Jones is the floor general the youthful Wizards need

The main return for the Washington Wizards in the Kristaps Porzingis trade that sent him to the Boston Celtics was Tyus Jones from the Memphis Grizzlies. Jones, who has been a long-time quality backup point guard in the league, is finally getting the opportunity to run point for his own team. It will be exciting to see what he does with a bigger role and more playing time with the Wizards.

Jones, a 6-foot guard out of Duke, spent the first four seasons of his career with the Minnesota Timberwolves, before signing as a free agent with the Grizzlies in 2019 and extending his contract with them in 2022.
