The end of the bench talent

30. Dahntay Jones

29. Kevin Looney

28. James Jones

27. Damian Jones

26. Edy Tavares

Truth be told, not many of these names will see the court in the 2017 NBA Finals. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t talent at the end of these two team’s benches – because there is.

Specifically, Kevin Looney, Damian Jones and Edy Tavares could have NBA futures at some point in their careers, but they’re just on stacked rosters. If they were on any other team, they probably would be getting some burn.

For now, though, they should enjoy this experience watching from the sidelines.

As for James Jones and Dahntay Jones, both of these players have seen better days. They’re both 36 years old and on the tail ends of their career. They’re perfectly content playing the “veteran” role in the NBA Finals.
