The Magic are very interested in the Suns backcourt general. He and Bain were teammates during the Grizzlies?

According to a joint report by TheSteinLine reporter Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, multiple teams, including the Orlando Magic, have a great interest in Phoenix Suns' backcourt general Tyus Jones, who also intends to offer him a quote after the free market opens this summer. It is worth mentioning that Jones and Magic's new backcourt Desmond Bane were teammates before when he was in the Memphis Grizzlies, and the two had a pretty good personal relationship.

In the NBA regular season this season, Jones played a total of 81 games in 82 games, averaging 26.8 minutes per game, averaging 10.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He also had 1.1 turnovers and 0.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 41.4%, and free throw shooting percentage was 89.5%. Judging from Jones' personal performance, he has shown his own characteristics this season. With his playing time fluctuating and not very stable, he still maintained a stable offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage. He can also provide the team with a lot of scoring on the offensive end, and he can also play a role in passing and organization. However, the Suns did not arrange appropriate tactics and positions for him, which is also an important factor that he cannot fully display his talents, and even plays very awkwardly at some times.

Last summer, Jones signed with the Suns with a basic salary contract. The purpose of Jones's operation is to attract more attention from the team through his performance at the Suns and strive to get an ideal contract offer this summer. The situation turned out to be completely contrary to his imagination. Jones lost the starting position in the second half of the season and his performance did not fully meet expectations. The most important thing is that the Suns' record is simply terrible, and the team has not even entered the play-offs, which has also made Jones' data meaningless, and his market conditions have been significantly affected. It may be difficult for him to get an ideal offer in the free market this summer.

According to previous news, the Magic hope to improve the team's competitiveness in the backcourt, and they also need a qualified substitute point guard to sort out the offense of the second team. In this case, Jones became a very ideal choice. There was also news that the Magic also had some interest in D 'Angelo Russell, who is also about to become a free agent. But overall, Jones may be a more reasonable and cost-effective choice, not to mention that he has a good relationship with Bain. I don’t know if Magic will provide Jones with a quote after the free market is opened.
