Scouting report
Backcourt analysisDerrick Jones Jr. is a 61-rated small forward at the edge of a rotation, ranked #53 of 77 small forwards in Backcourt.
His best fit is the Glue guy role, which does the defensive and rebounding work that never shows up as points. His defense (68), rebounding (60) and basketball IQ (61) are exactly what that role asks for, and the game rates the match as “Suits him”.
For a small forward, his standout attributes are defense (68) and inside scoring (59), in the top 45% and 61% of small forwards respectively.
The trade-off is three-point (58), in the bottom 21% of small forwards — surround him with floor spacing so defenses cannot sag into the paint.
Plan his minutes around matchups and blowouts rather than a fixed nightly share. His stamina of 67 means his energy drains quickly, so watch the ENR column.
At 29 he is close to his ceiling of 62.
He earns $10.0M a season with a transfer value of $20.5M — expensive for what he delivers.
