Forward Perry Jones III has tantalized NBA teams with his size and athleticism but could never put it all together. Now, he's looking to head back to North America after a brief stint overseas with the Russian team BC Khimki.

Rumor Central

Jones was selected 28th overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2013 draft. He averaged just 3.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 143 games over three seasons. According to Sam Amico, the Denver Nuggets are one of multiple NBA teams to reach out to the 6-foot-11 forward. Jones spent most of the 2015-16 season in the NBA D-League with the Iowa Energy, where he averaged 13.2 points and 7.4 rebounds in five games.
