Rookie guard Mason Jones put on a show Saturday night, proving to Houston Rockets fans that he deserves more playing opportunities going forward.

Mason Jones is one of the several rookies the Houston Rockets picked up in the offseason. His most recent performance against the San Antonio Spurs has elevated his potential ceiling considerably in the minds of any Rockets fans who were watching Saturday night.

Though the Rockets did not secure a second win against the Spurs with a short roster, Jones put forth a performance far beyond what is commonly seen from a rookie.
