KG-MVP21 · 08-31-2006, 05:09 PM

Press Release - The Phoenix Suns announced today that they have signed free-agent forward Jumaine Jones to a one-year contract.

A 6-8, 230-pound forward, Jones appeared in 76 games last season for the Charlotte Bobcats , scoring a career-best 10.5 points and grabbing 4.9 rebounds per game. In 42 games as a starter, he averaged 13.3 points and 5.7 rebounds, including a career-high 31 point (13-20 FG, 5-8 3FG) outburst versus the L.A. Lakers on February 3. On the year, he recorded eight 20-plus scoring nights and three double-doubles.

If one of the starters goes down, I see him getting a lot of playing time at SF. It's interesting that PHX is signing a bunch of shooters.

I agree also that he will be a big help to this team, but it's just strange how they're signing a whole bunch of shooters. They already got Pitkowski. They James Jones, and now they got Jumaine Jones. But I mean, they should be able to find a way to fit them all in since Tim Thomas is gone.
