Jones needs to accept his role

In Andre Jones' defense, we have been without two of our best shooters so far this season, or for most of that time, and he may have felt compelled to try to do what he is not best at doing. However, as we move forward, he needs to accept the fact that (at least so far) he is not a shooter. That is not my opinion: the statistics over two seasons prove it without doubt. However, Jones is very quick and has great hops. He is an above-average rebounder for a perimeter player. We need him to rebound, penetrate, get to the basket. He needs to be a physical, slashing 3 for us. If he will stick to his role, he could be a very effective player. A shooter, he is not. His FT shooting is not awful, but could stand some improvement, because he should be a player who gets fouled a lot.
