“The goal is to be a starter. » Tyus Jones already announces the color. The Wizards point guard is free this summer and it's perfect timing for him, as he's coming off the best season of his career.
Finally a starter, after years of being a solid sixth man, for his first year in Washington, he averaged 12 points and 7.3 assists, with very clean success percentages (49% on the shoot, 41% on 3- pts) in the collective slump of the Wizards (15 wins, 67 losses).
A strong sign also coming from the franchise, which decided to bet on him and did not seek a transfer despite his contract ending. “I was at the end of my contract and, in the NBA, we know what that means, but the franchise never thought about that,” explain Tyus Jones. “They said it from the start: they wanted me here, for the long term, and when we have to make a decision, we will. »
The Wizards will obviously want to keep him and, as he is in the major five in Washington, the former Minnesota and Memphis player has no reason to look elsewhere. “Anything can happen but my family and I love DC. We want to be here and I want to help this team move forward, move in the right direction.”he concludes.
