2017 NBA Manifesto

29th June 2017

Tyus Jones
PG, 6’2, 195lbs, 21 years old, 2 years of experience

Good improvements over the last season. Shot more efficiently from all areas, turned it over less, upped the assist numbers, and although he is occasionally completely overwhelmed defensively, he will always give it a go.
