After going undrafted out of Iowa State, Jones had a stellar summer league for the Nuggets, averaging 15 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists on 47% from 3.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShamsCharania\/status\/1947022633599656112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">July 20, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>During the NBA Summer League, Jones averaged a team-leading 14.6 points per game despite playing just the seventh-most minutes. That was much like his last year with the Cyclones, as he came off the bench early on before being inserted into the lineup due to injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Along with his points, Jones added 4.4 rebounds and almost four assists per game, shooting 47 percent from the 3-point line.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jones will be on the NBA G-League Grand Rapids Gold roster and be able to be called up to be on the bench for the Nuggets. Two-way players can compete in up to 50 NBA games per season but are not eligible for the playoffs under that contract.<\/p>\n<p>A native of Minneapolis, Jones started his college career in the junior college ranks with Indian Hills in Iowa. He transferred to Buffalo before having a breakout run with Iowa State.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>MORE IOWA STATE SPORTS NEWS:<\/p>\n<p>                        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All former Iowa State men&#8217;s basketball standout Curtis Jones wanted was a chance.
