Herbert Jones and Joshua Primo were the subject of a pair of nice preseason previews as the two prepare for the opening of their NBA seasons next week. Jim Eichenhofer’s preview of Jones notes that he’s already making an impression on defense. Primo’s preview by KENS5 in San Antonio says that Primo is already exceeding early expectations. MySanAntonio.com also has a piece on Primo, from Joshua’s agent’s perspective.
