There is a chance Cam Reddish gets some Duke basketball company on the Lakers roster.

“Los Angeles Lakers Targeting Duke Basketball Talent Once Again: Could Tyus Jones Be the Missing Piece?”

The Los Angeles Lakers, known for their penchant for Duke basketball talent, made waves when they signed Cam Reddish in free agency last July. However, recent reports suggest that they have their sights set on another former Blue Devil, Tyus Jones, this time in the trade market as they seek to bolster their playoff hopes before the February 8 deadline.

Insiders are buzzing about the potential move, with many speculating that Jones could be the key to helping the Lakers rise in the standings. Currently sitting at the 8th spot in the Western Conference with a 22-23 record, the Lakers are exploring multi-team trades to make a significant impact.

Tyus Jones, who was selected as the 24th overall pick after a stellar one-and-done season with the 2014-15 Duke basketball national champions, has consistently led the league in assist-to-turnover ratio for the past five seasons. This year, he’s on track to defend that title with an NBA-best 7.2 ratio.

Jones has taken on a new role as a full-time starter for the first time in his professional career, albeit with the struggling Washington Wizards, who currently hold the second-worst record in the league at 7-36. Despite his team’s struggles, the 27-year-old NBA Blue Devil is putting up impressive numbers, averaging 12.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.2 steals in 43 games.

As the Lakers eye Tyus Jones as a potential addition to their roster, the Duke basketball connection continues to be a point of interest for fans and analysts alike. Will Jones be the missing piece that helps the Lakers secure a more favorable position in the playoffs? The NBA trade deadline on February 8 promises to be an exciting time for Lakers fans as they await the team’s next move.
