The Official(?) Terrence Jones Thread

[Veteran_Picksetter]

Draftexpress has him at 6'9.5" in shoes, 252 lbs., with a 7'2.25" wingspan and 8'11" standing reach. It's official: He is an nba big with perimeter abilities, not a tweener.

We know the kid can face up for jumpers and drive on you. His offensive skills are extremely impressive for a college kid of his overall size.

He also blocked 1.8 shots in 29 minutes last year.

We know he tends to disappear in games. Perhaps there are some emotional concerns?

I think we should explore acquiring this high risk/high reward guy and a "safer" player in a trade down. What do y'all say??

He is so far down my list.

maybe if we drafted a SF but if we go with T-Rob then no need on drafting another big. too much of a risk for us to be taking risky players

We already have Terrence Jones. His name is Tyrus Thomas.

Talent and skill-wise alone, where would he be??

We already have Terrence Jones. His name is Tyrus Thomas.

Maybe they both have issues upstairs, but Jones brings in a far more complete offensive skill set, and 250 lbs with 7ish% body fat. And Jones swats his own fair share of shots....

If we somehow got T-Rob and Terrence Jones, that would be a great problem to have. Jones is taller, heavier, longer in his reach, a better shotblocker, and smoother in his perimeter game than T-Rob.

Rudy Gay played on a very talented college team and people criticized him for disappearing in games a lot. Look what happened there.....
