some interesting Derrick Jones Jr stats from last season:
-shot 36.7% on corner 3s last year
-was in the 100th percentile in defensive versatility
-guarded Cs and PFs 46.1% of the time he was on the court
-had a TS% of 62.9%
-generated 1.36 PPP on P&Rs as the roll man (100%tile)

I'd add that only Caruso had a better on/off +/- for the Bulls. He impacts winning and he does exactly what we want: switches defensively, moves without the ball, can run the PNR with Kyrie and Luka.
The real issue here is that Williams and Jones are both below average at rebounding from the PF position. If we don't address rebounding elsewhere, we're likely going to see our rebounding be in the bottom 5-10 teams again if not dead last again
