The Portland Trailblazers acquire James Jones from the Suns

The Trailblazers have officially acquired James Jones in the trade that also netted the Blazers Rudy Fernandez on draft day for a pile of cold, hard cash.  Jones is a versatile swingman who can handle shooting guard or small forward on the court.  He played in 76 games (7 starts) for the Suns last season and he averaged 18.1 minutes, 6.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game.  He only shot 36.8% from the floor, 37.8% from three point range and 87.7% from the free throw line.

Over his NBA career, Jones has played in 232 games (55 starts) and he has averaged 19.4 minutes, 6.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game.  He has shot 39.5% from the floor, 38.5% from the three point line and 86.1% from the free throw line. 

Jones will give the Blazers a nice three point shooter off of their bench next season and he should be a key contributor.
