Damon Jones

The Sun-Sentinel has Pat Riley in pursuit of Damon Jones this morning.  Jones, a 27-year-old point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks, is an unrestricted free agent, and appears to be exactly what the newly-constituted Heat might want. Ask yourself this:  What exactly should the Heat be looking for in a point guard?
 
"Well, you might say to yourself,"I want an unselfish player who knows how to feed the ball to Shaq, doesn't turn the ball over, allows Wade time at the 2, hits some threes to take pressure off the inside, and plays some D."
 
Damon's the answer.
 
Damon Jones ranked 14th in assists last season, playing in only 24.6 minutes per game.  He also ranked 4th in ALL OF BASKETBALL in assists per 48 minutes, behind only Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, and Earl Watson.  
 
Damon Jones ranked 2nd in ALL OF BASKETBALL in assist-to-turnover ratio, behind only Antonio Daniels.
 
Damon Jones shot a very respectable . 359 from Three Point Land, 51st in the league.
 
Not only that, but Jones got more minutes in the playoffs in a five-game series with the Pistons, and played even better. 
 
Sign him up Pat.  He's perfect.
