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.
