An under-the-radar move for the Lakers by signing Jones. Stuck in a committee in Sacramento, Jones flashed real upside as a rebounding machine. In 2022, Jones averaged 8.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 56 games. With little depth behind Anthony Davis, who is often injured, we may see Jones post several top-75 weeks in fantasy.
