James Jones said the hope is with JaVale McGee that his rim protection will be infectious on the rest of the team. Talked about how that can be the case and get guys like the wings to take charges and also have a similar mentality like McGee when it comes to interior defense. – 12:42 PM

With Elfird Payton, James Jones emphasized the importance of ball-handlers in their offense (high ball screens, DA, etc.) and you can never have too many guys like Payton. – 12:36 PM

James Jones on Dario Saric’s timetable after tearing his ACL: “We just said indefinitely. We’re gonna let it play out. He’s doing well right now, but until you actually get on the floor and start moving around and actually playing, it’s just conjecture.” – 12:33 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
James Jones said he believes the short layoff can be a benefit for the Suns. Quickly getting back to it will allow guys to get back in their rhythm better as opposed to a longer break. – 12:31 PM
