Jones registered seven points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 107-77 win over Brooklyn.
The 23 minutes were a career high for the 21-year-old rookie, and Jones used the extra court time to display some impressive defensive chops. The 2023 second-round pick out of Xavier could be carving out a consistent role in the backcourt rotation, especially with Harrison Barnes' minutes shrinking and long-term injuries to Kevin Huerter (shoulder) and Malik Monk (knee).

Kings' Colby Jones: Promoted Tuesday
Rotowire
Jones was recalled to Sacramento's roster from the G League's Stockton Kings on Tuesday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Jones' G League performances have been a mixed bag thus far. The rookie is shooting a strong 63.3 percent at the rim, but he's knocking down just 28.6 percent of his threes through 11 games. Notably, he's been a versatile defender with point-of-attack chops and playmaking ability, evident by 25 combined steals and blocks. That being said, he's unlikely to play a meaningful role in Sacramento's rotation at this time.
