Potential Free Agent/Trade/Sign Tracker, '25-'26 Season

I'd rather just give that spot to IJ. Same kind of bet and it's probably better to give that "potential upside" swing spot to the guy who's been in-house

Amen to that. Isaac Jones can play in this league, yeah, hopefully he gets his shot. I get it, the rookies last season had a short leash but there were so many games that Jones deserved to be playing in last season.

I really liked Jones. Was begging for him to get those minutes over Len last season. But do we see a PF here? He seems a little to clunky/Beefy to be a PF. I know hes a bit undersized for the 5, but that's the role I had him best in. Maybe next to Maxime off the bench it works as they can switch those spots?

He can play the 4 and 5 I think. He's more athletic than Lyles.

He's got to show he can consistently shoot, but I think he's got a serious talent as a rim runner in the dunker spot. He's got seriously good hands and athleticism along with the huge wingspan.

I'd love to see him and Maxime as the back-up 4/5 this year.
 
If jones had a jumper, he would start. But unfortunately not.

Jones started to develop a spot 3 in the G league. He's got really good touch actually. His off the dribble ability even came out in his limited NBA minutes a few times. It might have just been because he's older and he started playing so late in life but his improvement with the Stockton Kings was pretty shocking.

Even at the end of last year you could see it needs work. He isn’t there yet. But I hope he develops it enough to be in the regular rotation.
 
The longer this Kuminga saga drags on, the more animosity there will be between JK and the Warriors. Not to mention that they are punting their own off season by not resolving JK's contract, so they can't make any other moves.

He shot 65% from the field last season, best on the team. As for three-point shooting, he hit 37.5%, better than Murray, Lyles, DeRozan, Monk, Fox, and Huerter, in that order.

I would not complain about his shooting at all. Isaac Jones is still raw, however. He needs more polish and more time to really understand the NBA game, which moves so fast these days.

Listen - I love Isaac Jones. I absolutely think he deserves more shot to play than he got last year, and I think he will be successful as a rotation player. But saying "As for three-point shooting, he hit 37.5%, better than Murray, Lyles, DeRozan, Monk, Fox, and Huerter, in that order..." is about the most disingenuous use of statistical averages I have ever seen.

To say he was a better three point shooter than all of those guys because he shot 37.5%, but to NOT include that he went 3/8 TOTAL, on the season, is silly. The guy played a total of 304 minutes last year and shot a total of 8 three point attempts. That he shot 37.5% needs a HUGE "small sample size" asterisk, but apparently we are doing the exact opposite and using it to claim he is a better shooter than almost every rotation player from last year...

Bro I hope he works out too. Love his story. But let’s be realistic
