Bulls in the Pros Potential return to the NBA of Dominique Jones

[Brad]

 

Dominique Jones – Jones has bounced around a bit since being drafted 25th overall in the 2010 NBA Draft, with his only NBA experience coming during his three seasons on the Dallas Mavericks (during which he won a ring). He has always put up impressive numbers in Summer League, D-League play and overseas games, and this year was no different. He went to China and recorded jaw-dropping stats, averaging 36.8 points, 8.4 assists, 7.8 rebounds and 2.7 steals while shooting 57.4 percent from the field. He finished third in the league in points per game and first in assists per game. He was virtually unstoppable out there. The question is can that success translate to the NBA? A number of teams are intrigued and are curious to find out. It seems he may finally get a second stint in the NBA, as several teams have expressed interest in him (including the Washington Wizards). The 26-year-old is extremely talented, and could provide some backcourt depth for a team if given an opportunity.

Would be great for him, he was definitely talented enough and maybe now he has enough experience to make a difference, be it on the floor or mentoring the younger talent.

Good luck

Wow, crazy stats. Hope he gets a chance in the NBA. No reason he can't be a 7th or 8th man in a rotation.

[The Sheriff]

He averaged almost 37 points a game and finished third in scoring - that's insane.
