Veteran journeyman Damon Jones goes to Napoli

October 15, 2009

After signing with 10 different NBA clubs (and one, the Milwaukee Bucks, twice) in eleven seasons, journeyman guard Damon “The Best Shooter in the World” Jones has found a club whose roster he’s never graced: NSB Napoli.

Jones reportedly signed a one-year contract with Napoli yesterday and the deal was announced publicly this morning.

Jones finished the season with the Bucks last year after completing three years of a four-year, $16 million dollar deal signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2005. Holding out for much of the season resulted in a pitiful stat line for 2008-09 beginning with the 108 *total* minutes played in NBA games.

Apparently little interest was shown among NBA teams in taking on the 33-year-old and so Jones decided to jump the big pond.
