Summer League standout rewarded with two-way deal with Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs have signed guard David Jones-Garcia to a two-way contract after his recent impressive performance at the NBA Summer League, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

Jones was just named to the All-Summer League First Team in Las Vegas after averaging 21.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game, while shooting 52.7% from the field and 52.9% from three-point range.

Jones, who helped the Spurs to a fifth-place finish with a record of 4-1, is the Spurs' first of three two-way spots to be filled.

The 23-year-old recently turned down a three-year offer from Olympiacos in Greece to continue pursuing a spot on an NBA roster, and his decision paid off as he now has that opportunity.

If his level of play continues over into the upcoming NBA season, he could then be rewarded with a standard NBA contract, but for now, this is a step in the right direction.

Last season, Jones, who is from the Dominican Republic, played for the Mexico City Capitanes in the NBA G League where he finished runner-up in the voting for G League Rookie of the Year.
