Who is new Kings player Mason Jones?!
The next guy I want to talk about is someone who did not play a single second of this game oh who I believe had an impact with his Vibes a guy that people were watching tonight going who is that guy Mason Jones you may be listening
This now going who is Mason Jones Mason Jones has been on the Stockton Kings this season the Kings just signed him after the trade deadline to a two-way contract so he’ll spend time in Stockton and Sacramento with the Kings they called him up for this game MH had them
Join the team in Denver and he was on the king’s bench and I’m watching that game and I we we’ve gotten to watch Mason Jones over the years into G League even more closely this year yeah really just solid player but the one thing he plays with is Passion energy pure
Passion he’s always talking good playmaker great vision has knocked down the three at a really high rate this year 50% from three right now or something I I like his game a lot and I said this even before he was in Stockton watched him last year Mexico City I mean
I remember him with the Vipers in the G League South Bay Lakers yeah South exactly so anyway they sign him to a two-way contract I’m like that’s interesting they’re bringing him up up for this game huh and he doesn’t play but I’m watching I’m going this guy is
Into it every timeout this guy is up and he’s greeting guys he’s animated I tweeted at one point during the game I said Mason Jones was the first player off the bench at every timeout tonight he brought so much needed energy and Vibes that’s how you have an impact
Without playing here’s what Mike Brown had to say about Mason Jones after the game I say uh Mason Jones we just signed him to a two-way deal he didn’t play at all tonight but his impact in the game was huge he was you know the the the
Energy he brought from the from being on the bench was phenomenal I mean every time out before I can even take three steps on the floor he’s sprinting past me high-fiving guys talking to guys during the game he’s talking to guys and you know we have a fairly quiet group and so
For him to bring that type of energy was phenomenal my my my my son Elijah who’s a video coordinator for us uh he was watching at home he even said he said this before I even had a chance he said Mason’s energy was off the charts he
Could feel it through the TV and uh I know that I felt it our players felt it and our coaches felt it so his energy was great for us in a game that uh again we could have easily folded but uh our guys found a
Way yep yep I’m so glad I am so glad that you pointed that out because I noticed it and then when you text me about it and then I saw your Tweet later on I finished our broadcast just giving him love really quick this is not and I
Hadn’t even heard Mike Brown talk about it or anything and I’m like yes because that role alone goes such a long way it takes a lot of energy to give a lot of energy and Mason Jones bringing it around a group of guys whether whoever he knows you know throughout his years
Of basketball or not just being that guy it really can do something different to you sometimes you need an ejection of something throughout a year and look I’m not trying to overhype this okay act like man did they just get the steel of all it just noting it dude I having
Encouragement having someone who buys in and just is locked in and is something new like his voice is fresh to that group of players to that locker room and if he’s coming off the bench and he’s into things and he’s pumping up Fox where he’s pumping up sabonis or anybody
Coming off the floor and he’s being engaged I think the Kings have lacked that this year we mentioned javelle McGee being a vocal leader but outside of that like Mike was just saying In that clip like it’s a pretty quiet group like they’re not like super loud or
Anything so you need some loudness you need someone that’s going to do a little talking I’ll tell you what Mason Jones does a lot of talking when we watch him in the g- league so it was good to see him just like bought into the moment understanding like dude if I’m going to
Be in the NBA I’m on a two-way deal I don’t know how long I’m be chilling with this group but you you know what tonight in a postgame press conf conference after a win in which Mason Jones didn’t play a goddamn second tonight the head coach of the team is talking about you
The Deo podcast is talking about you no but you know the his son’s texting the coaches I mean that’s that is significant like and that’s something it’s a very positive development for Mason’s career like hey if you’re all this this whole thing is about being Allin this guy sounds Allin and you need
That type of energy and Vibes they need Vibes Good Vibes there especially when when you’re a two-way guy or you’re a guy that’s playing in the G and you’re like okay what what puts this guy over what separates him you know from others especially if it’s like ah Fringe guy
There’s a lot he does well I’m not sure if his entire game translates to being able to play all these minutes on the NBA floor whatever but what can put you over and get you even that paycheck that contract that you want that dream that you are chasing and it’s those little
Things and those little things just go such a long way and yeah I just I I loved what we saw it was awesome awesome stuff
