Tyus Jones
Tyus Jones tends to fly under the radar amongst NBA fans. He shouldn’t.
This is a point guard who routinely leads the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio. Jones offers the best ball security in the NBA. That happens to be exactly what the Boston Celtics need.
Meanwhile, there’s reason to believe Jones could be a viable trade target this summer. Currently, he’s the best backup point guard in the NBA. The Memphis Grizzlies can afford the luxury of having him on his current deal.

Soon, he’ll be eligible for a new deal. The Grizzlies may not be able to afford to pay him market value to backup Ja Morant.
If the Celtics want their new starting point guard, they could turn to Jones.
On the other hand, if they want a starrier acquisition, this next name may suit them.
