Shines in win Thursday Jones racked up 23 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, four steals and two blocks across 35 minutes in Thursday's 117-89 preseason win over the New Zealan... Impact Several young players got the chance to play extended minutes in this contest for the Thunder, but it'd be hard to find anyone who took more advantage of the opportunity than Jones, who filled the stat sheet admirably and made his presence felt on both ends of the court with a strong double-double. Jones, the 26th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, isn't expected to play a big role for the Thunder as a rookie, but this game certainly gives a glimpse of his potential as a two-way threat in The Association.
