    Dallas Mavericks Exclusive: Derrick Jones Jr. Loving Role Playing 'Natural Position'

    DALLAS—The Dallas Mavericks did not experience the robust defensive resurgence they benefited from until moves were made before the midseason trade deadline to acquire P.J.

Jones started in 66 of the 76 games he played this season.
