Both Jones and Blake are working out together this week at the Trail Blazers practice facility in Tualatin. Trail Blazers assistant coach Monty Williams put Jones and Blake through a number of drills that were primarily focused on outside shooting and if Tuesday?s workout was any indication Portland?s perimeter game could see significant improvement this coming NBA season. Despite being the off-season, both players impressed and at one point during the morning workout Jones hit 16 three-pointers in a row, missed one, and then sank another five straight.</div> Source Aside from the obvious additions we made this year, I think these are really two under the radar guys that can seriously contribute. Blake can't really surprise me, because he's more of a proven commodity. However, I'm anxious to see how Jones is going to adapt in our system.
