The Memphis Grizzlies strengthened their bench this summer with the addition of Tyus Jones, but where exactly is his ceiling?
The Memphis Grizzlies made an unexpected move during this summer’s free agency by picking up Minnesota Timberwolves guard Tyus Jones. Minnesota had extended a qualifying offer to Jones, making him a restricted free agent, and after the big year he had for the Wolves the general consensus was that Jones would re-sign. However, Memphis offered Jones a 3 year, $28 million contract, and Minnesota did not match the offer, so now Jones is a part of the Memphis bench.
Still, after his career year last season, there have to be some questions as to how much he will produce for the Grizzlies. Assuming he comes off of the bench behind Ja Morant, what will his numbers look like, and what will Jones add to a Memphis team who could theoretically go in any direction they please with their style?
