NBA Point Guard Tier List: Where Does Tre Jones Rank?

Tier Six: Spot Starters

Seeing Tre Jones slip to the bottom of the tier list may not be the most encouraging thing Spurs fans have read this summer, but his ranking speaks more to the saturation of talent at point guard than his abilities. After all, he averaged 12.9 points and 6.6 assists in his first season as a starter.

32.) Tyus Jones
33.) Tre Jones
34.) Mike Conley
35.) Dennis Schroeder
36.) Monte Morris 
37.) Kyle Lowry

Though the Spurs could have let the Duke product walk in free agency, the front office re-signed him to a lucrative contract. Jones isn't the future of the franchise, and that's alright. He can be a priceless asset as a reliable stopgap who runs the show until San Antonio finds a long-term solution.
