THE SEASON SO FAR

A brutal transition from garbage-time novelty to overwhelmed starter defined Kam Jones's early campaign. When his minutes finally expanded on 01/17 vs DET, he suffered an absolute deep-freeze from the floor, shooting 1-for-10 to post a disastrous -13.3 impact score. The coaching staff stubbornly handed him the keys anyway, but his hollow box scores quickly became a glaring issue. He logged 12 points and 8 assists on 02/03 vs UTA, yet posted a -5.8 impact because his scoring was completely overshadowed by costly turnovers and defensive breakdowns. Things bottomed out completely on 02/20 vs WAS. Despite racking up 11 assists in 39 minutes, his offensive execution fell off a cliff with a 2-for-9 shooting performance, yielding a catastrophic -22.4 impact rating. Opposing teams relentlessly targeted him on defensive switches, exposing a guard who simply cannot survive heavy rotation minutes right now.
