Tre Jones helps Bulls secure No. 9 playoff seed

Bulls guard Tre Jones is aware of his team's current position in the Eastern Conference. After scoring 18 points and providing 12 assists in a recent win over the Jazz, he expressed his excitement about the Bulls moving up to the No. 9 seed. Jones said, “We’re definitely talking about it,” indicating that the team's standings and performance are hot topics among players. Jones has stepped up since joining the Bulls as part of a trade. He has become a starter due to injuries on the team and has been instrumental in their recent success. The Bulls have a 5-2 record with Jones contributing an average of 15.3 points and 6.9 assists per game. With key players expected to return soon, Jones believes he will still maintain his important role on the team. Bulls coach Billy Donovan praised Jones for his smart play and low turnover rate. He described Jones as a perfect fit for the team's fast-paced playing style. Jones himself enjoys this approach to basketball, saying it allows him to create opportunities for both himself and his teammates. Despite his current success, questions remain about Jones’s future with the Bulls. The team has several guards under contract, and managing their salaries will be a challenge. For now, Jones is focused on helping his team climb the standings, taking it one game at a time.
