Herbert Jones Lands Long-Term Deal With Pelicans
11 months agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones is staying with the team on a four-year, $54 million deal. The 24-year-old has acted as a key 3-and-D wing for the Pelicans starting lineup over the last two seasons. Jones put forth 9.8 points, 4.1 boards, 2.5 assists, and 1.6 steals per game across 29.6 minutes per game last season in New Orleans. The disruptive Jones should remain a decent late-round defensive specialist for fantasy purposes in upcoming drafts. However, Jones may not start 66 games again with Trey Murphy III's emergence and Zion Williamson due to return next year.
