Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Stuffs stat sheet but shoots poorly

Jones closed Thursday's 128-111 loss to the Rockets with 10 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds and seven assists across 31 minutes.

Jones had a strong showing when it comes to peripheral stats with his six boards and seven dimes, but the fact that he ended with more field-goal attempts than points scored isn't the best recipe for success. The four-year veteran has scored in double digits in six of his last nine appearances since returning from an extended absence due to a shoulder injury. Jones should remain valuable in most formats, and particularly category-based ones, if he continues to mix up solid scoring performances with strong contributions in secondary categories, such as rebounds, assists and steals.
