Former Alabama basketball player Herbert Jones is making a statement during his rookie season in the NBA.
Have you looked at the New Orleans Pelicans Twitter bio lately? It's completely dedicated to the new star of the team.
After Jones' put on a defensive showcase in Game 4 of the Pelicans Vs Suns first-round playoff series, it's hard to argue with the statement in their bio.
Herb was a major problem for the Suns offense down the stretch in Game 4. He blocked two 3-pointers and intercepted an inbounds play for a layup and a foul. It was poetry in motion.
Twitter users all over reacted to Herb's amazing performance in Game 4. Specifically his shot-blocking ability.
This breakdown of Herb Jones on just this one defensive play is mindblowing. It was a really smart play!
It's safe to say Herb can cover almost anything!
Herb Jones even caught the attention of former NBA star Kendrick Perkins. If Perkins is right, Herb Jones will soon be accepting a major NBA award.
Skip Bayless even weighed in on the Former Alabama basketball player.
During game 4, Chris Paul went to help Herb off the floor and Herb straight-up ignored him! Is it wrong to say that I support it? It's a heated series. I'd rather take help from my teammates as well.
No matter the results of this playoff run, it's safe to say Herb Jones is the next big thing in New Orleans.
Roll Tide!
