Jones has quickly become a fan favorite for the effort he displays on the court. Teammates quickly coined the term, “Not on Herb,” during informal September workouts in Nashville.
The rookie forward out of Alabama should be of great assistance in trying to slow down the Bulls attack as Chicago’s starting lineup is filled with potent scorers on the wing in Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan.
