Herbert Jones is an American professional basketball player who plays for the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA. Since being drafted 35th overall in 2021, Jones has quickly gained recognition for his exceptional defensive skills.

Herb Jones is easily one of the best second-round players in recent NBA history as he immediately became a starter upon joining the Pelicans. Over his three seasons with the team (2021-2024), Jones has solidified his reputation as one of the premier perimeter defenders in the league. He consistently embraces the role of shutting down the opposing team's best offensive players.

On the offensive end, Jones showed significant improvement in the 2023/24 season, boosting his 3-point shooting percentage to 41.8% compared to around 33.6% in previous years.

Before the NBA, Jones played college basketball for Alabama from 2017 to 2021. While he showed promise in his first two seasons, it was during his junior season that he emerged as a lethal defender. As a senior, Jones was named SEC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year by the league's coaches at the close of the 2020/21 regular season.

Now with the New Orleans Pelicans, Herb Jones aspires to become the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year.
