Phoenix Suns rookie Derrick Jones Jr. has spent most of this season in the NBA Development League with the Northern Arizona Suns, but that didn’t stop him from earning a spot in this year’s NBA Slam Dunk Contest.
Jones has been with the Suns since the beginning of the month, but he hasn’t been seeing much playing time over that span. Instead, he’s using his time with the team to give fans a sneak preview of what’s to come at next weekend’s Slam Dunk Contest.
That’s just filthy. Someone needs to tell him that the competition hasn’t started yet. That wasn’t the only vicious slam he threw down during the warm-ups.
No wonder he got an invite to the NBA Slam Dunk Competition while playing in the D-League.
