If he gets a 3pt shot, we won’t be able to keep him. He’s an outstanding playmaker and defender, and would be a starter quality PG with a long ball. It’s literally the only thing missing in his game.
In mild defense of TD21, his 3P% for the last ten games has been 25%, with many games of no attempts. Overall, not great. His FT% has been 91.7% so I still think he can become a league average 3P shooter, maybe even better considering his FT percentage is right around 80% for the year. But if he becomes an average or better 3P shooter, I think he goes from, to me at least, average backup point guard to one of the better ones.

Seems like only Rookies entering 4th year is eligible for extension, as Tre only signs 3 years he would not be eligible
That would be first rounders. I believe Trey could be eligible this summer for an extension that would kick in next summer. Whether they should is a whole different question.
No point in waving the guy he hardly makes anything. I agree he's fine as the 3rd pg. I am glad he's played because like almost everyone else on the roster the Spurs needed to see what they had.
Without a 3 point there is no reason to keep him long term. While it's not a big deal he's getting minutes now, op is right in that Tre Jones can't function as a good pg with his current skillet.
The shooting has to improve.
He just lacks the range on that shot, his 2 dribble jumpers from 3 went in last game. I think it is an easy fix to get power on those shots, form is fine. KBD and Langford have worst shooting projections.
If his contract is consider as veteran contract then he could get an extension this off season.
Anybody doubting Tre Jones as a capable PG is just delusional. The guy is poised, distributes and just knows when to attack. I’m not comparing him to the great Stockton, but he sure shows the same demeanor, just calms the team down, nothing fancy. He makes his 3’s this off-season, watch out.
He's looking a bit like he did in summer league. He's pretty swift and crafty getting shots around the rim. The key may be that he's pretty strongly built for his height, so when he gets a corner on a defender it's hard for them to get back. Speed and some strength.
He’s definitely picked his game up since this thread was made, thank you. We should keep him around.
He's got the tools for being a very effective point guard. I love seeing his evolution as he gets more experience.
He is an important cog in this wheel. Remember how frustrating this team has been to watch the past few seasons.
This is a fun team to watch most of the time.
This thread does not age well. Tre Jones showing up the past several games. He's just a sop re, once he develops his 3 point shot, watch out fellas He also has a very good IQ
he looks much better than i thought he would tbh... much more juice than joseph would regularly show
Tre is playing way better than he did midseason. He's a legit back up PG, his floater is money. He has a complete game, the only thing he's missing is a 3-point shot and I'm pretty sure that's gon come along
Tre jones showed me something tonight
lonnie would have crumbled to the floor with that ankle sprain and been out a month
tre working on his 3 pt range is his next step
His resume suggest he will be more than ok in the end….Spurs got them a good one. Patience boys and girls����
Tre hurting himself but wanting to get back to finish says a lot about his character. The kid is a relentless winner. He picks his spot with his floaters. He can get to the rim at will, while distributing and finding people. As mentioned, he is deceptively athletic and has that burst of speed many didn’t expect. That made me look for his vertical, and yup 40”. I knew it.
The kid is a steal. This article is a great read why Tre landed with the Spurs in the 2nd round, and the Spurs are lucky to have picked him up. https://balldurham.com/2020/11/19/du...slipped/amp/1/
I was expecting Jones to be a career Spur 3rd string PG... but as he's going (IMHO), he could be the primary backup someday.
Murray / Jones
Vassell / Primo
Johnson / J-Rich
Collins
Poeltl
Consistency will be key, but given more minutes now, he is showing that the progress he made in Summer League wasn't an illusion. He was already trending in a positive direction, if you look at the big picture, but it often takes repe ions and opportunity to help develop that confidence. It's true he isn't a great 3 point shooter right now, but he has shown that if you play defense, don't make stupid mistakes, and can still find ways to contribute, not to mention score outside of launching 3s, you can still make positive contributions. He definitely should be part of the team's future.
What kind of mexican food do you eat
Jones played a great game last night. I may have to retract my critical comments if he keeps running the offense like he did against the Nuggets.
While he’s still not blowing anyone’s mind away with his play, he’s at least stopped his bad habits of hesitating from 3 from last year and has taken a step forward in that department. I don’t think it was ever the Spurs enabling it. He just wasn’t confident in his shot because he hadn’t worked on it. Looks like he worked on it over the summer and has the confidence to shoot it.
Damn pull receipts on this .
:
That doesn't change what I said at the time and even with that "step forward", he's still got a 51.5 TS% (league average is currently 57%, but usually ends up at 55%), and while the 43.5% from 3 looks nice, only 23.5% of his shots are 3s and almost all of them are wide open spot ups.
