Sixers Take a Flier on Dillon Jones with Exhibit 10 Deal
Philadelphia's fourth Exhibit 10 signing this offseason is a long shot to make the roster after a rookie year of just 2.5 points a night.
Camp body on a non-guaranteed deal — no fantasy value unless he sticks.
- 26th overall pick in 2024 by Washington
- 2.5 PPG, 2.2 RPG in 54 games as OKC rookie
- Just 7 Knicks games, 5 minutes each last season
- Fourth Exhibit 10 signing for Philly this offseason
- 15.2/5.6/6.1 in 18 Westchester G League games
The 76ers added another training-camp body Tuesday, inking Dillon Jones to an Exhibit 10 contract. It's a low-risk, non-guaranteed deal for a former first-rounder whose NBA résumé is thin: the 2024 26th overall pick has managed just 2.5 points and 2.2 rebounds a game on 38% shooting across 54 appearances, all with Oklahoma City as a rookie.
Since then, Jones has been on a whirlwind tour. Washington drafted and immediately shipped him to the Thunder, then reacquired and waived him. He bounced through several G League stops before catching on with a two-way deal in New York this past January — where he appeared in only seven games, logging five minutes apiece.
The G League is where Jones actually looks like a player. In 18 games for the Westchester Knicks last season he put up 15.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists while shooting 43% from the floor and 38% from three. That last number matters, because shooting has been his career-long question mark.
The Shooting Question
Jones hit just 32% from deep across four seasons at Weber State and hasn't cleared 25% from three in his limited NBA reps. The encouraging trend: he jumped from 27.5% as a G League rookie to 37% over his second season split across three teams. That's a real leap, even if the sample and level of competition come with an asterisk.
He joins Tacko Fall, Jameer Nelson Jr. and Saint Thomas as Philadelphia's fourth Exhibit 10 addition of the offseason. These deals are essentially camp invites with a G League incentive baked in — a way to stash depth, not a promise of minutes. If Jones somehow sticks, there's a fun footnote attached: every team he's suited up for in the NBA has gone on to win a title.
The Fantasy Fallout
For fantasy purposes, this doesn't move the needle. Exhibit 10 signings rarely crack a rotation, and Jones would have to survive a crowded camp just to earn a two-way spot, let alone rotation minutes on a Sixers roster with far more established options. Keep him off your board in all formats — he's a WATCH at most, and only if a rash of injuries suddenly opens the door in Philadelphia.
