Jones has bedded in young new arrivals Federico Fridel (Switzerland), James Hagan (Ireland) and Yann Fasbender (Luxembourg), as well as adding English ace David Watts from Reading.
But the arrival of more new faces is imminent.
Jones is hoping to secure another foreigner in the shape of Brazilian-Italian forward Caio Caesar Avona. He started the season with BBL Cheshire Jets and will add size to the Magic ranks if paperwork can be cleared.
