Herbert Jones may not be a star-caliber player, especially when compared to some of the other names on this list. However, the New Orleans Pelicans forward could be a vital piece on the Magic roster if they can acquire him.
In his rookie season, Jones was looked at as one of the most complete defensive players in the league. Although he only played six games in the postseason in his rookie year, he was a terror against the Phoenix Suns.
Since his rookie season, the Pelicans haven't been the most competitive of teams. Facing a plethora of injury crises, the team has been shorthanded, and these unfortunate circumstances have left them out of the postseason for the better part of Jones' career.
In light of this, the 26-year-old may benefit from a move to Orlando. Figuring out his place on a much more competitive roster, Jones could be the defensive element the team so desperately needs to compete against the title-contending teams in their conference.
Although he suffered a season-ending tear in January, Jones notched an average of 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. These stats may not leap off the page, but his ability to lock down on defense has garnered a lot of attention. Considering that he was named to the All-Defensive Team last season, there is enough evidence of ability to suggest that he could be a key player for Orlando.
