James Jones 14 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
James “Champ” Jones is, after tonight, shooting 21 of 34 on three-pointers this season. That’s 62 percent, for those who understand how percentages work (I don’t).

So James Jones barely plays at all in the regular season and now he gets fifteen minutes off the bench in the playoffs? If he was this good all along how come Spo didn’t realize it? Alternatively, if he wasn’t that good all along, why is he good now? I supposed it’s only fitting. Jones…
