Jones recorded a complete stat line Wednesday night, including four “stocks” and a 3-of-5 night from beyond the arc. While he is one of the NBA’s best wing defenders, Jones shot a career-low 30.6 percent from beyond the arc last season. Jones’ overall field-goal percentage will benefit if he can get that three-point percentage closer to his career mark of 36.6 percent, if not exceed it. Only rostered in 34 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Herb should be a popular “add” in the coming days.

Jones suffered a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder, causing a premature end to his 2024-25 season. Not only has the elite defender been cleared to return, but according to Dumars, he’s been scrimmaging for a few weeks. A healthy Jones on the court will be critical for New Orleans due to his defensive ability, especially with the Pelicans adding Jordan Poole via offseason trade. From a fantasy standpoint, managers will hope Jones can hit three-pointers at the rate he did in 2023-24, when he made 41.8 percent of his 3.6 attempts per game. Last season, Jones shot just under 31 percent from three on 3.6 attempts per game.

Despite having two seasons remaining on his current contract, Jones was extension-eligible this summer. According to Charania, the Pelicans decided to secure the future of one of the NBA’s premier wing defenders. Jones was among the many New Orleans players who missed significant time due to injury, with a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder sidelining the wing for good at the All-Star break. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, the ability to produce defensive stats makes Jones a player worth rostering in standard leagues. The final season of his contract, 2029-30, is a player option.
