Watch a highlight reel from some of Terrence Jones’ premier individual games in the NBA, and you may wonder how a player with such a diverse package of skills was still available to New Orleans late in July free agency. In a 2014 St. Patrick’s Day game vs. Utah, the then-Houston second-year forward deposits 30 points, doing so in a dizzying number of ways – posting up, draining wing three-pointers, crashing the offensive boards, finishing alley oops at the rim, running past the Jazz for a transition layup. At the defensive end, part of Jones’ four-block night included snuffing out an Alec Burks mid-range attempt and swatting the massive Enes Kanter’s righthanded low-post hook shot.
