SACRAMENTO, CA – APRIL 11: Derrick Jones Jr. /

Stat Projections: 4.7 points, 0.7 assists, and 2.5 rebounds.

Derrick Jones Jr. is an enigma. He might be the most athletic player in the NBA and yet he simply cannot make any consistent offensive impact. D.J. struggles with his jumper which allows teams to play extremely lax defense on him. While it is easy to see his potential in regards to his incredible athleticism, until Jones Jr. develops a better offensive game, he will likely be stuck towards the end of Earl Watson’s bench.
