Jones has become one of the most-wanted names of this past season in all of Europe.

The 26-year-old American big man navigated Turk Telekom to the Turkish League regular-season winners spot. He averaged 14.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 21.4 PIR in 27 games and claimed the MVP award.

Jones recorded 12.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 18.9 PIR over 20 EuroCup contests.

He had a double-double of 17 points and 11 boards in the competition's final game against Gran Canaria, but couldn't prevent his team's loss. Nevertheless, his impressive campaign made him an All-EuroCup Second Team selection.

Before joining Turk Telekom, Jones played in Italy for Carpegna Prosciutto Pesaro last season, averaging 13.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.
