Power forward Terrence Jones, formerly of the Rockets, Pelicans and Bucks, will continue his international basketball journey in Puerto Rico, per Nicola Lupo of Sportando. Jones will suit up for Mets de Guaynabo during the team’s 2020/21 basketball season.
The 6’9″ Jones saw his most recent NBA action during the 2018/19 season, when he inked two 10-day contracts with the Rockets and appeared in two games for the club that season. He also logged time with Houston’s G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, during ’18/19.
In 2019, Jones signed with TNT KaTropa in the Philippines.
The 28-year-old big man is an eight-year NBA veteran, having been drafted with the No. 18 pick by the Rockets in 2012. Jones has appeared in 234 games in the league, including 118 starts. He holds career averages of 10.4 PPG, 5.7 RPG, and 1.0 APG.
“Sharpshooter”, with a career 3pt % of 29.7. Ha.
Now it says “The 28-year-old big man”
I thought Puerto Rico was destroyed by that bug rock from outer space in the documentary called Starship Troopers.
That was Buenos Aires, but Johnny Rico avenged us!
Ah, yeah, I got that mixed up. Thanks for the heads up.
Rico’s Roughnecks!
neal patrick harris helped too.
Can someone explain – seriously – why a guy like him, who had respectable numbers, doesn’t get an NBA job? Didn’t he have some decent success? It’s like Dwight Howard…his numbers were great this year. Shouldn’t he get a big contact this offseason? I am not that educated on NBA contracts…never understood it.
He had a bunch of injuries early in his career and never met expectations.
I….howard was a productive player for the league champs. Jones didnt even play in the nba.
I recall him in college as someone who liked to be the biggest baddest on the court. He probably likes the reduced competition in smaller countries… or maybe the climate!
the dude sounds confounded lol
although he can score, he is very limited defensively and is undersized at his position. he also likely lacks the work ethic that is needed improve as an nba player.
You can do much worse than playin’ hoops in paradise, right?
