3,700 Points

Naturally, field goals and three pointers go hand in hand with points. That means that there’s a milestone in points that Jones can reach. Over his 13 years in the NBA, Jones has accumulated 3,585 points and a career average of 5.4 points per season. This means if he gets that number over 50 games, he can get way more than 3,700 points, landing at 3,855. Jones, however, averaged less last year with only 3.7 points per game. Still, with that average over 50 games, Jones can get 185 points, putting him comfortably past the 3,700th point milestone.
