Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Jones recently signed a four-year, $54 million contract with New Orleans, indicating that the franchise sees him as an important part of their core. The 24-year-old forward is unlikely to put up gaudy numbers, but his consistency with his availability and production is a positive asset for fantasy managers. Jones played in 68 games in 2022-23 after making 78 appearances in the previous season. Last year, he averaged 9.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals in 29.5 minutes on 46.9/33.5/76.4 shooting splits. While his efficiency isn't abysmal, it also isn't a major positive. A large portion of Jones' fantasy value comes from his defensive production, as he ranked eighth in the NBA in steals per game last year. Although the Pelicans' roster is largely unchanged going into 2023-24, the potential for Zion Williamson to start the year healthy and the emergence of Trey Murphy could push Jones out of his starting job. That said, Murphy's off-season knee injury could open minutes for Jones. The forward started in all 66 of his appearances in 2022-23. Overall, Jones is better-suited for eight-category formats in fantasy, though he's mostly a deep-league target.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could open season at center
The Pelicans are considering playing Jones as the starting center on Opening Night against the Bulls on Oct. 23, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. "I'm told Herb Jones is essentially going to serve as the starting center for the Pelicans," Charania said.
ANALYSIS
Charania also relayed that coach Willie Green said the plan is to play "positionless basketball" while acknowledging that Jones will guard opposing centers regularly. That experiment could go both ways. However, the Pelicans will give it a chance instead of playing other options, such as veteran Daniel Theis or rookie Yves Missi. Notably, Jonas Valanciunas left for Washington this offseason, leaving the starting center spot vacant.
