A lot will depend upon the return of Dunleavy and the development of Rush. Right now he's playing extremely well and looks like he will warrant quite a bit of playing time. Currently he's a good guy to have IMO, but I wouldn't count on him being this successful all season.

Hes probably going to be our starting SG because Rush is out with a sprained ankle

He's playing pretty well right now, but I don't know if he'll be able to keep it up once MDJ returns as said.

Dahntay is making it difficult for Coach O to justify reducing his minutes even when MDJ returns. Rush will probably be the one relegated to the pine if he doesn't start playing @ the level he showed towards the end of last seson.

Jones actually has the opportunity to be more assertive on offense here, as opposed to Denver. So in that respect his fantasy value increases. Hurry and buy low.

Yup.

For better or for worse, he seems like he fits very well offensively here as well as defensively.

I'll take a "scrub" that puts up numbers like that and plays as hard as he does any day of the week.

Don't forget he's also posting 0.7 SPG and 1.0 BPG.

Including 4(?!) blocks last night, one of which kindly welcomed Steph Curry to the League.

Yeah! What looked like just a routine signing of a roster filler, in the off season has turned into a real smart move. Jones is looking really good if he keeps it up he might be the most improved player.

He's looking more and more like a steal. Good for him.
