He has played really well recently. Best case is he provides some stability and allows us to take a wait and see approach and let our youngster develop on a normal path. What if he is more though? He is still only 26.
We will see how this turns out but the Jones and Exum minimum salaries look like expert GMing. Go back to the previous gambles (some that I thought was warranted at the time): Frankie Smokes, Moses Brown, Willie Caulie Stein, Wes Iwundo, Theo Pinson, Sterling Brown, Marquisse Chriss, Facu, Kemba Walker etc. Just a stark difference on that Jones and Exum could provide vs those other names.
