Clippers sign Fred Jones

What position does he play? I checked out some highlights of him and it seems like he is a 2 guard or a forward. One thing I noticed is that he knows how to finish. I'm assuming he was signed to a guaranteed contract.

Hes a 2 guard, but if need be can play some 1. He is a good defender, excellent driver and finisher, and has a decent shot. You guys are going to like him.

He's small but he's a 2. We need a point guard but at least we signed some one. Let's see what he's got

I always thought Fred Jones was a decent player, I think he'll do well with the Clips.

Like the signing but we just lost again So what are the plans for the rest of the season. All we need now is to lose the game to the 76ers at home.

Shoot, I was surprised to learn that Fred Jones was a FA. Dude was the 2004 Slam Dunk Champ....he dethroned Jason Richardson with the dunk that takes place at 1:27. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shlfcufpEG0

Given the state of our bench, I'd welcome any sort of experienced player that can contribute something to the team, and reduce our starters minutes. I caught quite a few of his games when he was with the Raptors. He's a decent overall player, athletic, but at times turns into a 3 point chucker.

I'm surprised he was a free agent too, didn't even realize he wasn't signed to a team. He's been on quite a few teams now. Hopefully he can make most of his time with the team and showcase his abilities. And a few highlight reel dunks wouldn't hurt either, lol.

I like the signing a lot. He could be a decent role player off the bench.

He was just waived with Paul Davis.

Why would they waive Jones?
