Following a midseason trade from San Antonio to Chicago, Jones found himself in a favorable situation, albeit temporarily, before a season-ending foot injury ruled him out for the final 12 games. In his final 15 games before suffering the injury, Jones compiled averages of 12.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 three-pointers in 26.7 minutes per contest. Apparently, the Bulls saw enough in Jones to convince the brass that he deserved a crack at a regular rotation spot, signing him to a three-year, $24 million deal during the offseason. Having also parted ways with Lonzo Ball, it appears as though Jones is slated to come off the bench behind Josh Giddey, assuming the latter can come to terms on a new deal. Both Giddey and Coby White are coming off highly productive seasons, meaning Jones would need an injury to either one to allow him to play close to starter's minutes. Look for Jones to serve as an adequate backup, typically logging between 22 and 25 minutes per night.
