In terms of assist-to-turnover and steal-to-turnover ratios, no NBA player in history has ever finished a season with better marks in both than former Duke basketball player Tyus Jones is on pace to finish with this season.
After drawing his second consecutive start — his fifth of the season — due to Derrick Rose and Jeff Teague being out indefinitely with ankle injuries, the 6-foot-2 point guard responded with 15 points, 13 assists, one steal, zero turnovers, and zero fouls during his Minnesota Timberwolves’ 123-114 road loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night.
