2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jones remains an intriguing player with immense potential despite mixed results during his senior season at Marquette. After shooting a career-high 40.6 percent from deep on 6.5 attempts per game as a junior, Jones hit a career-worst 31.1 percent on 6.1 three-point attempts a night as a senior. However, he still averaged 19.2 points per game. Jones also dished out 5.9 assists per game in 2024-25 after never averaging more than 2.5 in each of his first three seasons. The lefty point guard was taken with the No. 38 overall pick by the Pacers, who'll be without their All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton for the entire 2025-26 campaign. Despite the massive hole in the backcourt, Jones won't be stepping into a guaranteed role as a rookie. Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin will start, with T.J. McConnell, Ben Sheppard and Johnny Furphy as the top returning backups. Jones will have to earn everything with strong play, but there's a reality where he flashes fantasy relevance at some point as a rookie. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Kam Jones grew up in Memphis, Tennessee and boxed in addition to having a strong high school basketball career, being named Tennessee Mr. Basketball (Division II A). He committed to play collegiately at Marquette. He made the Big East All-Rookie Team as a freshman in 2022, starting seven of his 31 appearances. Jones became a full-time starter as a sophomore, averaging 15.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 46/36/66 - earning him a spot on the All-Big East Second Team. He attended the Damian Lillard Formula Zero Elite Camp in 2023 and the CP3 Elite Guard Camp in 2024. He averaged 17.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals as a junior. As a senior, Jones continued to improve his stats and averaged 19.2 points on 48/31/65 shooting, 5.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 33.8 minutes. He was named Consensus All-American Second Team. Jones plays with the ball in his hands, making up for his below-the-rim athleticism by using excellent footwork, physicality and repertoire of moves to free himself from the defense. He evolved as a passer during his four years at Marquette, notably posting a 5.9 assist to 1.9 turnover ratio as a senior. That said, he doesn't always have to have the ball in his hands and is a proven spot-up shooter with room to improve his free-throw percentage. On defense, Jones plays hard and likes to pressure. Jones could fill a sixth-man role easily due to his combo-guard skillset. His true outcome and role may be determined by how much further he develops as a shooter, passer or defender. All three skills have a working baseline, but there's fluidity. He may share playstyles with Isaiah Collier, Eric Bledsoe and Emmanuel Mudiay.

Remains sidelined

November 30, 2025
Jones (lower back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
According to Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said Nov. 24 that Jones is fully recovered from the stress reaction in his back that has kept him sidelined all season, but the rookie will require more to get fully ramped back up. Jones is on a standard NBA contract with Indiana, but Carlisle noted that the 23-year-old guard is likely to see his initial game action in the G League with the Noblesville Boom once he's deemed healthy enough to play.

Uncertain date for NBA debut
GIndiana Pacers
October 6, 2025
Jones will be sidelined for multiple weeks due to a back injury, and it is uncertain when he'll be able to make his NBA debut, according to Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Rick Carlisle announced the injury to Jones. The rookie was the 38th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. While the timeline doesn't automatically rule Jones out for the season opener against the Thunder on Oct. 23, it sounds as if Jones probably won't be ready to return for that contest.
