Tyus Jones, the former one-and-done point guard for the 2015 Duke basketball champions, is leading the NBA — for the second season in a row — this time with a 5.2 assist-to-turnover ratio. As a fifth-year pro, in his first campaign with the Memphis Grizzlies, the 6-foot, 195-pound floor general has primarily come off the bench but has put up a career-best 7.4 points per game and 37.9 shooting percentage from downtown. In other words, the 24-year-old is entering his prime.
