I think they play him on Monday at home

Looked stronger than he did in the first game. Still had enough legs to drill threes but maybe wasn’t fighting for boards as hard as he was in the first half.

Good. He had ice on his ankle and was walking with a bit of a limp after that 3. Hoping it’s just a bit sore

Dennis was really good. iCraw’s shot looks really nice. Isaac Jones played well.

There is an NBA GLeague app you can download.
I noticed he was in warmups or street clothes last night and not on the game roster so wondered if he was hurt. 4th quarter last night would have been perfect for him to get some run against slightly better competition, or at least a few bigs with guaranteed contracts.
Isaac Jones just dropped 42 on Santa Cruz.

Maybe they'll decide to sign him after the trade deadline, like they did Keon last year

If the Kings include Lyles in a trade there’s a chance he ends up playing rotation minutes as well.

Wouldn't surprise if he's in at least one of their plan scenarios. He looked solid and has been really showing out down there
Can confirm, 42 points is good

Is his shooting improving? If he can hit a corner 3 he would cement himself in the nba.
There have been at least a few trade scenarios pointed out here where we have to send out enough minimum contracts that we drop below the minimum roster size (case in point would be a simple Cam Johnson for Huerter + McDaniels + McDermott which now works under the CBA). Jones would likely be a top candidate to get placed on an NBA deal in that case.

Jones teasing us with those Colby numbers. Real or Gleague fluff?

We've seen him play quite a bit for this roster, so have a general idea of what he can do at the NBA level. An energy PF or small 5 rim runner that can challenge shots around the rim
Got to prove it in the NBA, but my general opinion is that if you can't look good and play well in the G-League, there's pretty much no chance you play well on the NBA. I can't imagine any of the big g-league guys that have hit over the years we're bad in the g-league first

I sure hope so. I was not a fan at first, but this guy is big, strong, fast, and dedicated. He has skills, too, especially on defense. I have been surprised that Doug Christie thus far has only played Isaac Jones when the outcome is no longer in doubt.

He looks rather slow afoot in those highlights, but when I have watched him on defense with the big club, he moves his feet very well. Perhaps he just does not run as fast as Sabonis and Lyles? That lope can be deceptive with athletes sometimes.

45 on Monday, 35 on Wednesday and just barely over 30 last night. Is it time to start worrying about Isaac?
