I sort of get these feelings that maybe Timberwolves fans (and even the Timberwolves commentators) are disappointed with what Jeff Teague brings to the table and would rather see more of Tyus Jones out there on the floor. I can see where they’re coming from; Teague likes to score about as much as he likes…

Tyus Jones 13 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2018)
Tyus Jones is currently sixteenth in the league in Real Plus-Minus, which only proves to me that some secret cabal of stat-heads huddled in the deepest recesses of the ESPN headquarters invented RPM because they love Tyus Jones and hate Jeff Teague. But this secret cabal couldn’t make the numbers lie that much, because Teague…

I could make some ironic statements here like “Who even needs Jeff Teague anymore” or “I don’t even know who Jeff Teague is” or “Jeff Teague is being made irrelevant right before our very eyes” but I won’t. You know why? Because Jeff Teague is still a better player than Tyus Jones. Jones might be…
Read MoreTyus Jones 12 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/28/2017)
Having been given the starter’s job in relief of the injured Jeff Teague, Tyus Jones has had some good games by his standards. Last game had him notch a 9/7/7, with the last seven being steals, and this game he had a neat 12/7 line. The caveat: Tiny Tyus played forty minutes and “only” got…

Tyus Jones: better than Kris Dunn? Timberwolves fans seem to think so, and I can’t say that I disagree. Just look at that assist-to-turnover ratio! Everyone knows that that ratio is one of the best ways to assess the value of point guards, and Jones’ is way better than Dunn’s. It’s easy to complain about…

Damn man, I was making this video, and you know what I noticed? Tyus Jones kind of looks like Jabari Parker. Look at that thumbnail. That could be Jabari in the thumbnail with a couple of photoshop filters applied to him. And a photoshopped crappy goatee. For real. The other thing I noticed while making…
Read MoreTyus Jones 9 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (4/13/2016)
Adjusting for the strength of an average NBA team not playing in the last game of the season, we can estimate Tyus Jones performance against the Pelicans as 4 points and 6 assists. Still pretty good, probably one of his better games, but not as attractive as the 9 and 12 he “actually” put up….
Read MoreTyus Jones 9 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2016)
You might think that 9 points isn’t enough when it comes to highlight-making. That my time would be better spent showcasing players who at least scored in double figures. Well, I think that YOUR time would be better spent by getting on your knees and sucking. So there. This is Tyus Jones we’re talking about….
