David

Jones

Jones played for three programs in four years of college basketball, culminating with one season at Memphis. Playing for Penny Hardaway, the 6-foot-3 guard had the ultimate green light offensively, averaging 21.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.2 steals, and 2.5 3-pointers. Jones was much-improved as a shooter during his season at Memphis, recording splits of 45.9% from the field, 38.0% from three, and 79.7% from the foul line. While he did rebound and defend well for his size, Jones was a bit of a “gambler,” which led to him being out of position on occasion. The 76ers need to sort out contracts for several key backcourt players, so Jones has a chance to assert himself as a threat to break into the rotation with a strong summer should they not bring back a number of guards from last season.
