Hey Pheonix- Fans.

Hi, I just wanted to know if you think that James Jones will start for your team? He seems to have a decent Pre-season. Is Marion starting at the four again? I can't see any games over here, that is why I am asking...

[JMarkJohns]

Yes, he will start at SF, will get around 30 minutes, will score around 15-17 points, grab around 5/6 rebounds and make 3+ threes a game.

If he's on the market, I'd pick him up.

IMO, he could finish with over 300 threes.

The Suns lineup is this...

PG: Nash, Barbosa, House
SG: Bell, Jackson
SF: Jones... Marion, Diaw
PF: Marion, Diaw
C: Thomas, Grant, Burke

Well, thanks. I doubt he will be THAT good. But he might be a good pickup though...

Suns: Jones excelling in starting role

The void left by forward Amare Stoudemire is obviously significant, but James Jones has been a pleasant surprise this preseason. Jones has started all eight games and his 16.6 scoring average is good enough for second on the team and 16th in the league.

Hitting 26 triples in eight games also hasn't hurt his potential in 8-cat leagues. If you are looking for a sleeper to select late in your drafts, or a player to grab off your league's wire who could contribute in a starting role, Jones is worthy of your consideration.


All this kid needs is minutes. he averaged .45 points per minute played last season. With a starter's role he'll easily net 30 minutes. At last year's minimal role rate (.45), thats 13.5 points per game. He's going to be, at the very least, the third option in the Suns offense and could be the second option.

With Nash alongside and his preseason numbers being an indicator of what he can do, how is it unreasonable to expect 15-17 points, 5/6 rebounds and 3 made threes a game?
