Tre Jones has turned heads with his recent performance in Summer League, opening up a debate over whether the Spurs’ 2020 second round pick should be in the rotation this upcoming season. Having a more traditional floor general around for a few minutes with the second unit could make sense.
Of course, so could having a combo guard with range, like Bryn Forbes.
