The Oklahoma City Thunder made a draft day trade where they landed Dillon Jons with pick No. 26 in the 2024 NBA Draft, already the Weber State product is popping off the page at NBA Summer League.
On Monday night the Oklahoma City Thunder kicked off their Summer League schedule, a seven-game stretch divided up between two cities started out in Salt Lake City, Utah. This marked the debut of Weber State product Dillon Jones, who the Thunder selected with the No. 26 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, Jones displayed an ability to play at his own pace, looking not just comfortable but in command within the flow of the game, and made more than a few eye-popping plays. Jones realizes this mismatch and immediately calls for Mitchell to pull off a scram switch where Jones will rush over to cover Bona in the post - ideally while the ball is in the air to the UCLA product - while Mitchell flies out to the 3-point shooter.
Jones gives the ball to Williams and it draws in shaded coverage from Dieng's side of the floor, the Weber State product goes and gets a hand-off from the big man as the ball barely returns to Jones he fires it over to Dieng for a clean look at a triple.
