New Orleans rookie forward Herbert Jones has received frequent praise for his defensive prowess, but as Pelicans teammate Tomas Satoransky pointed out after Wednesday’s shootaround, Jones is more than just a defender.
“I’ve been so impressed with him,” said Satoransky, a six-year NBA veteran. “I told this to Garrett Temple, that he’s very universal. Herb can do a little bit of everything. Defensively he’s very fearless. He goes against the All-Stars basically every game. Even offensively, he gives you a lot of things: He knows how to move, how to pass, where to cut (and) he’s working on his shot.
