Derrick Jones

After spending two and half seasons with the Heat, Jones signed a two-year, $19 million deal with the Trail Blazers last offseason. For the first time in his career, the gravity-defying wing began the season in the starting rotation. Jones started in his first 41 appearances with his new team and averaged 7.9 points and 4.3 rebounds in 26.3 minutes per game during that span. However, the 6-foot-5 forward's season completely changed when Portland traded for Norman Powell on the trade deadline. Jones went back to a reserve role and ended up nearly falling out of the rotation, averaging just 13.2 minutes per game post trade deadline. This season, the UNLV product finds himself on a new team once again. Jones was a part of a three-team trade that ended up with him landing in Chicago. DeMar DeRozan and Patrick Williams look to be locked in at the starting forward spots for the Bulls, but the team's lack of depth at the position should lead to Jones having a solid role as a reserve. While the 2020 Dunk Contest champion has never been a great fantasy option due to his lack of playmaking and shooting ability, Jones should still be seeing around 20 minutes per game off the bench this season. While Zach LaVine and Jones will certainly be an aerial sight to see, it is hard to imagine Jones improving tremendously to where he is a viable fantasy option in the 2021-22 season.
