5 Potential Landing Spots for Denver Jones.
The two-way guard averaged 10 points, two rebounds, and 2.6 assists for Auburn in the 24/25 season. Almost all the NBA teams could do with a good shooting guard, either as part of the starting five or as a bench option.
So, what are his possible destinations in the NBA?
Utah Jazz
Utah Jazz will finish as the worst team in the NBA in 2025. It is evident that the squad needs rebuilding, and they might be looking to strengthen every position. Jazz has enough picks in this year’s draft, and Jones could be an interesting option for him due to his impressive off-the-ball abilities.
Washington Wizards
The Wizards are currently in the midst of a rebuild, and with Jordan Poole the only guard who has shown quality this season, the Wizards could be looking to add depth to the guard position. Jones would do an excellent job in Washington.
Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets have Cam Thomas and D’Angelo Russell but are still on course to finish with twice as many losses as wins. The squad clearly needs fresh talent, and they could look to the draft for such talent.
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons are currently on the rise in the NBA, backed by impressive performances from the 2021 number-one overall pick, Cade Cunningham. Pistons shooting guard Malik Beasley is ranked 35th on ESPN’s list of shooting guards. They could look to add depth in that position this year.
San Antonio Spurs
The Spurs are currently assembling a young roster built around French superstar Victor Wembayama. However, with long-term injuries to key starters this season, they might find themselves with lottery picks this year.
