2024-25 2nd in A/T.

Of the players who played 58 games (the qualifying number for assist statistical leadership) only Tyrese Haliburton had a higher assists:turnover ratio (5.61-4.71). BTW, one of two players above Jones with less than 58 games was brother Tre Jones who had 5.49 in 46 games played per this.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:51, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
