The Chicago Bulls now have another MVP in the organization with Jones of the Windy City Bulls having been named 2022-23 Kia NBA G League Most Valuable Player on Wednesday.
"Extremely blessed," Jones tweeted after the announcement.
Jones led the G League in scoring at 26.1 points per game to go along with 7.0 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 24 regular-season games. Jones, who scored a career-high 46 points against the Lakeland Magic on Jan. 6, was voted MVP by the league's 30 head coaches and general managers.
A 25-year-old Cincinnati native who played collegiately at Radford and Louisville, Jones opened the season on a G League contract. He signed a two-way contract with the Bulls in December before the deal was converted to a full NBA contract in March.
