Tre Jones is averaging 12.6 points and 6.2 assists per game for the Spurs. “Being our only true point guard here, I definitely take pride in that,” Jones said.Earlier this month, Spurs point guard Tre Jones had the rare opportunity to have a conversation with his future self.
With All-Star Dejounte Murray traded to Atlanta in the offseason, the Spurs opened fall camp with the starting point guard job wide open.Even as Jones opened the season running the Spurs’ first unit, there were those even within the organization who assumed he was but a placeholder. There are still questions about whether Jones, the Spurs’ point guard of the present, can be their point guard of the future.
