Tyus Jones Pulled The Short Straw With The Minnesota Timberwolves
Tyus Jones is beloved by Minnesota Timberwolves’ fans. However, the hometown kid has struggled to see consistent minutes.
In the 2015 NBA Draft, Minnesota didn’t only walk away with only first rounder, they were able to grab another one as well. Minnesota traded with the Cleveland Cavaliers, which sent point guard Tyus Jones to Minnesota for two second-round picks (31&36).
As a freshman at Duke, Jones averaged 11.8 points per game, 5.6 assist per game and 3.5 rebounds per game.
What really stood out about Tyus was that he lead Duke to the NCAA National Championship that year.
