Will the lasting impression of Dominique Jones as a Dallas Maverick be the "2011" neck tattoo with the Larry O'Brien Trophy serving as the first "1"? Jones had the striking image inked after the title run, one in which the then-rookie did not play one second. Dominique Jones在小牛给人留下最後的印象会是他在颈部刺上了 "2011"与"Larry O'Brien金盃"的图样吗？Jones在去年夺冠之後 刺了这个图案，不过他在季後赛一秒钟都没上。 Placing Jones in the 12-hole could be considered gracious considering the second-year shooting guard from South Florida was not active for any of the playoff games in the sweep against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Who took Jones' roster spot? Kelenna Azubuike, a player the Mavs acquired in late March and who had not played in an NBA game since early 2009 because of a patella tendon injury. 把Jones放在第12位对他也是好事，因为这位二年级的得分後卫 在被雷霆横扫的系列赛中根本没被发入13人名单，谁取代了他？ Kelenna Azubuike，这位球员在三月底被小牛签下，他自从2009 年初就因为膝盖的伤势就没再上场过。 That's gotta hurt, and I'm talking about Jones' pride, not Azubuike's now-rehabilitated knee. 这对Jones的自尊会是一大打击。 To suggest that Jones could be swept out in a trade, perhaps as early as the June draft, is not a stretch. Jones is a likable kid, but if anyone thought he was making any progress over these two seasons, coach Rick Carlisle's playoff roster seemed to tell the real story. Jones可能会在六月的选秀中被打包出去，他是个讨人喜欢的小 子，但若要观察他在这两季有何进步？Rick Carlisle在季後赛 的上场名单或许已经说明一切。 The Countdown continues at No. 12... DOMINIQUE JONES Pos: SG Ht/Wt: 6-5, 215 Experience: 2 years Age: 23 (Oct. 15, 1988) 2011-12 stats: 2.7 ppg (39.7 FG%), 33 G Contract status: Signed through 2012-13 2011-12 salary: $1.19 million 2012-13 salary: $1.27 million His story: Without a first-round draft pick in June 2010, Mavs owner Mark Cuban paid the Memphis Grizzlies $3 million for their 25th overall pick. Intrigued by Jones' parade to the free-throw line via driving to the rack in the rugged Big East Conference, the Mavs took the combo guard, who in Dallas has yet to distinguish himself as either a competent shooting guard or a point guard. Part of the problem is his shooting. He's an awful 3-point shooter (1-of-12 in his career) and doesn't have much touch for a mid-range game either (36.4 percent career shooting). He's adept at plowing into the lane, but without any threat of a shot to go with it he becomes far too one-dimensional to play any kind of extended minutes in this league. 2010年选秀，没有第一轮签的小牛用3M买下了灰熊的第25顺位， 在看过DoJo在Big East Conference犀利的从罚球线附近切入取 分的表现之後，小牛就锁定了这位双能卫，但他到了小牛之後还 没办法成为衬职的控球或得分後卫。投篮能力是一个问题，他生 涯三分球投12中1简直凄惨，并且中距离跳投也不准，生涯命中 率36.4%。他对於切入很在行，但因为他没有投篮能力，让他的 功能太单一，导致他没有上场时间。 His outlook: To be fair to Jones, for two seasons he's been bumped down the bench by a veteran core of guards that gave him no shot at court time. Without playing, how much can a guy be expected to improve? It's not easy popping in every now and then in garbage time or filling in during an injury as he did some this last season. As for Jones not dressing in the playoffs, it could have just been a numbers game in that the Mavs were so filled up at the guard positions that Rodrigue Beaubois was cut out of the rotation. With Shawn Marion having to play some power forward after Lamar Odom was sent home, Vince Carter was the only other option at small forward, so Carlisle might have felt he needed Azubuike in uniform in case of emergency. If Jones remains on the team next season it's because he's a cheap means to fill out the roster. If he has a role that requires solid minutes off the bench, the Mavs probably will not have had a very good offseason. 平心而论，DoJo的前面一直有老将来挤压他的时间，让他根本没 有机会。没有上场的时间，你怎麽期待他的进步？他的上场机会 只有垃圾时间或是有球员受伤的时候，很难有突出的表现。Jones 在季後赛根本没被列入可上场名单，有时候小牛甚至连Rodrigue Beaubois都受不了而不让他上场。在Odom离队之後Shawn Marion 偶尔要扛四号位，Vince Carter则是要去打三号，所以卡帅选择 在季後赛名单放上Azubuike。如果Jones明年还在小牛队上，也只 是因为他很便宜，来填补小牛的阵容而已。如果他下季会成为板 凳的重要替补的话，就代表今年小牛的补强失利了。 --
