ccgeneral Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 I guess VJ signed with with the Fukushima Firebonds, but hasn't played yet. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2014/10/07/basketball/bj-league/fukushima-firebonds-sign-jones-bolster-backcourt#.VDRmw_ldUvB The Indiana University product is currently waiting for his visa paperwork to be processed. The expansion Firebonds went 1-1 in the first weekend of the regular season, edging the visiting Aomori Wati’s 66-64 on Sunday for the first victory in franchise history. Now, they are close to having the explosive floor leader as a part of their backcourt rotation. Fukushima travels to face the Iwate Big Bulls this weekend. Jones suited up for the Oita HeatDevils the past season. According to statistics posted on asia-basket.com, Jones averaged 16.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 39 games for the HeatDevils in 2013-14 while playing 29.7 minutes per game.

Stuhoo Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Ummmm... Verdell Freakin' Jones III is averaging 14.0 ppg and 3.4 apg while starting on a 9-5 NBA DLeague team. Is it just a little bit remotely possible that VJ3 could sniff the end of an NBA bench one of these days?!? Josh, sirhoosierlot, IUsafety and 2 others 5 Quote

Popular Post HoosierTrav Posted February 24, 2016 Popular Post Posted February 24, 2016 watched one of his games and he looks like he's way too good for the D-League. I would have never, in a million years, guessed he would have gotten this good. Great for him. I still think a healthy Verdell would have given us a better shot to beat UK again.

Popular Post Stuhoo Posted March 6, 2016 Popular Post Posted March 6, 2016 UMMMMM... Verdell just had his THIRD STRAIGHT GAME with at least 25 points, 5 rebounds and five assists in the D league. Holy crap, call him up to the NBA. JaybobHoosier, ccgeneral, Napleshoosier and 6 others 9 Quote
