Jones went back and forth between the starting unit and the bench for much of the 2023-24 season but ended the campaign on a solid note. He started each of his 48 appearances after Jan. 1, averaging a solid 11.3 points, 7.0 assists and 4.3 rebounds across 30.3 minutes per game in that span. The assists-per-game figure would be a career-high mark if he had posted it during an entire season. He also shot 38.8 percent from three-point range on 2.7 attempts per contest in a starting role, so it seemed he was finally primed to have a breakout season in 2024-25. However, the Spurs signed Chris Paul in free agency and added Stephon Castle with the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, so Jones is primed to spend another year as a backup point guard for a rebuilding squad. While there's no question the Spurs are making all the right moves to return to relevancy as soon as possible, having a backup role will not help Jones' cause to be a solid fantasy contributor. At this point, Jones won't have a lot of upside in any format as long as Paul and Castle remain healthy. Thus, Jones might be better suited to remain on waivers in most formats unless he finds a way to log consistent minutes in a starting role while the Spurs are shorthanded. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS Head coach Gregg Popovich announced that the floor general will be sidelined for a couple of weeks in a best-case scenario. This means Stephon Castle, Blake Wesley and Malaki Branham should see an uptick in minutes going forward while Jones is out.

2022
Despite the fact they will likely be toward the bottom of the standings once again this season, the Spurs do have some flexibility when it comes to their potential lineup. Jones remains the favorite to start at the point guard position, coming off a season in which he ended inside the top 100 in standard leagues. His numbers were far from exciting but got the job done given his modest ADP. He compiled averages of 12.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.3 steals in just under 30 minutes per night. If his role could be simply replicated next season, managers would have no issues grabbing him anywhere after pick 100. Unfortunately, he now has to contend with the recently acquired Cameron Payne, as well as a healthy Devin Vassell and much-improved Malaki Branham. Add to that some additional fringe options in Devonte' Graham and Blake Wesley, and it's clear to see that the path to minutes is not as straightforward as last season. His assist and steal rate should ensure he remains a viable asset, even if his playing time takes a hit, whether as a permanent option or streaming target. Anyone needing a cheap point guard late in drafts could take a gamble, as long as expectations aren't too lofty.
With Dejounte Murray being traded to Atlanta, a starting point guard spot has opened up in San Antonio. Jones appears to be the favorite to claim the job, and he could end up being a notable sleeper this season. Jones - the brother of Tyus - was selected with the 41st overall pick in 2020 out of Duke. He saw fringe NBA minutes as a rookie but excelled in the G League, where he was named to the 2020-21 All-G League Team. Last year, he was able to garner a consistent role as Murray's backup, averaging 6.0 points and 3.4 assists in 16.6 minutes. However, what fantasy managers should be interested in were his 11 starts. As a starter, Jones averaged 13.5 points on 48.8 percent shooting, 7.5 assists (1.1 turnovers!), 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 32.7 minutes. The turnovers need to be emphasized again. If you are in a nine-category league, Jones' lack of giveaways will be an absolutely massive factor in his fantasy value. One knock on his game is a lack of three-pointers. He averaged only 1.6 three-point attempts per 36 minutes last season and is a career 23.2 percent shooter from distance. There's potential there - he went 39-for-108 (36.1%) as a sophomore at Duke and shot 77.1 FT% as well - but he has yet to demonstrate it at the pro level. The positive is that with Jones living at the rim and floater range, his field-goal percentage stays high. He was prolific from floater range especially, going 64-for-126 (51%) from 4-14 feet. He shot 49.0 percent as a whole last year. It's understandable for fantasy managers to hesitate about drafting Jones inside the top 100, but the Spurs are without other suitable options at the position. Joshua Primo hasn't looked great, and he's also more of a shooting guard. Blake Wesley was selected with the No. 25 overall pick over the summer, but he may spend time in the G League. There should be a clear runway for Jones to be a 30-minute-per-game player with potential for semi-consistent 15-and-10 performances.

Not upset about new role
GSan Antonio Spurs
September 19, 2024
Jones isn't mad about losing his starting role with the Spurs following the addition of Chris Paul, he told Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News. "It was extreme excitement right away," Jones said of the Spurs signing Paul. "To be able to learn from a generational point guard like that, it's something I'll never take for granted."
ANALYSIS Jones has started 113 games at point guard for the Spurs over the last two seasons, but he'll likely be relegated to the second unit this season with the free-agent addition of Paul. However, Jones sees this as a learning experience since he'll be able to train alongside a future Hall of Famer on a regular basis. It's a crucial season for Jones, as he's entering the final year of his contract and will be an unrestricted free agent in 2025.
