Will Jones return for next season?
Jones will become an unrestricted free agent after this season and is looking to get a pretty good payday this summer. The Bulls have a ton of guards on their roster, with Josh Giddey, Coby White, and Ayo Dosunmu to name a few, all being under contract for next season.
Giddey has emerged as the main point guard for the Bulls as he is also on a heater post-All-Star break. Giddey is expected to test the market as a restricted free agent and will likely resign with the Bulls, which takes a spot away from Jones for next season.
A helpful player in trying times
Jones has provided highlights for fans in what has proven to be a trying season for the Bulls.
If the Bulls bring Jones back, he would be a great option to have off the bench or make a spot start.
The way Jones has been playing, he is looking like a player the Bulls should think about building around.
Coby White’s hot streak puts him in elite company
