Date:

Perry Jones had career highs with 14 points and nine boards in 39 minutes against the Bucks on Wednesday.

His previous career high in scoring was on February 27 with nine points and he got plenty of burn with Kevin Durant out. He won't be on the radar as long as Kevin Durant is healthy.

Mar 11 - 7:59 AM

Perry Jones scored a career-high six points to go with three rebounds, two assists and one block in 14 minutes against the Nuggets on Wednesday.

He did his damage in garbage time and there's really nothing to see here. Jones will need a few players to miss time in order to have an impact in fantasy leagues.

Jones will join Jeremy Lamb on what will make for an entertaining D-League squad.

Perry Jones (knee) returned to the lineup on Tuesday and scored 14 points and grabbed four rebounds in 20 minutes.

He shot the ball well by converting 7-of-14 shots. Jones has some talent at small forward for OKC, but the incumbent isn't likely going anywhere as long as Kevin Durant can walk.

Perry Jones will not play on Friday due to a sore knee.

Jones played 30 minutes in Tuesday's preseason game and performed well, so this is just OKC being cautious with their first round pick from this summer. It's being called a "maintenance day" for the rookie.
Fri, Oct 19, 2012 12:24:00 PM

Perry Jones thrived off the bench on Tuesday with 17 points, four boards, five assists, one steal and one block in 30 minutes against the Bobcats.

He made 8-of-10 from the field and his young career is off to a nice start. However, even wearing rose-colored glasses fantasy owners shouldn't think about taking Jones since he won't see enough minutes on a talented OKC team.
Wed, Oct 17, 2012 12:39:00 AM

Perry Jones scored 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting (including two threes) with two rebounds and a steal in 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's preseason loss to the Jazz.

The Thunder have made Jones out to be a star-in-the-making, and local beat writers have openly wondered if they're setting the kid up for failure. He has a long way to go, and while he has certainly gotten off to a great start, expectations need to be held in check for the No. 28 overall pick. Certainly in fantasy, he'll be buried in a low-minute reserve role.
