The Timberwolves had three point guards in their rotation this season. Third on the depth chart was Tyus Jones. He played the least minutes per game of all the players on this list. Because of that he was forced to make the most of his minutes and did just that.

Despite playing 2.6 fewer minutes per game than last season, he improved his shooting percentages across the board.

Jones increased his field goal percentage by five percent, three-point percentage by three percent, and his free throw percentage by six percent over his rookie season. This made him a more efficient player for the Wolves this season and is why he made the top 10.

At 20 years old, Jones is three years younger than rookie Kris Dunn. In fact, he is the youngest player on the Timberwolves’ roster after playing in his second season in the NBA.
