Scouting report
Backcourt analysisRated 68, Herb Jones is a deep-bench small forward whose value in Backcourt is roster cover rather than regular minutes.
His best fit is the Glue guy role, which does the defensive and rebounding work that never shows up as points. His defense (77), rebounding (60) and basketball IQ (74) 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 (77) and basketball IQ (74), in the top 17% and 20% of small forwards respectively.
The trade-off is rebounding (60), in the bottom 27% of small forwards — pair him with a big who controls the glass.
Plan his minutes around matchups and blowouts rather than a fixed nightly share.
At 27 he is close to his ceiling of 69.
He earns $13.4M a season with a transfer value of $31.6M — expensive for what he delivers.
