The New Orleans Pelicans signed Terrence Jones last week to a 1-year contract worth reportedly in the $1.5 million dollar range. With very little cap space remaining for the upcoming season, it was a surprise to see the team be able to add a player of Jones' caliber to the roster.
Two years ago, a 22-year-old Jones averaged 12.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in a little over 27 minutes a game. The future seemed bright, but then a combination of injuries and ineffective play hampered the rest of his time with the Houston Rockets.
