Terrence Jones: Legit or Flash in the Pan?

[DMC]

Dude is ballin'. He's been a surprise for the Rockets, doing as much as anyone on the team, often more. Legit or flukey?

[JMarkJohns]

In HS he was often compared to Antawn Jamison.

Even of a poor-man's version of the NBA Jamison, that'll be pretty good.

[Indazone]

Terrance Jones was a first rounder. 18th pick of the draft and a University of Kentucky standout. Yeah I'd say he's legit.

[BUMP]

I always liked this guy and thought he was really underrated at UK. Guy was big, physical, could handle the ball well, shoot from the outside, and play down low. Really reminded me of a slightly less fluid Lamar Odom, but I think he can legitimately be that good some day

[CitizenDwayne]

Jones seems to me to be much more of a bruiser than Jamison or Odom, without really possessing either's consistent scoring ability (less of a jump shooter than the former, less of a playmaker than the latter).

Still, the kid is damn good, and legit. Surprised it took him this look to show flashes of serious potential.

Blame McHale's piss-poor roster management last year.

Turn on your sig, Mitchell.

[BatManu20]

Legit. He's a good fit for that offense. Just barely turned 22 also, his best days are ahead of him. If/when he starts consistently knocking down jumpers he could serious.

[Raven]

i'd say sell tbh, tweeners are tweeners, he'll get exposed on D in the post season most likely.

[Clipper Nation]

faggot
Welcher

[DMC]

I'd take him in SA

[sook]

I like him , now if he could just develop a consistent shot, but then again he is only 22 and in his 2nd year.

[Rogue]

a stretch four would always flourish playing alongside DH imho.

[AchillesHeel]

MIP candidate?

[Robz4000]

Legit tbqh

[djohn2oo8]

Needs to put on some more weight, but yeah he could be legit. Work on his post game and a jumper.

Other than taking 4 steps to finish the play, pretty athletic.

Really? I always thought this guy was even a little bit bulky for a NBA player. I think he's almost the perfect size at 250 with DET athleticism, I think he should just stay where he is.

[Indazone]

But Morey doesn't think we have our third star so he'll do his typical thing and trade him.

[Rogue]

Ain't you guys already having that 3rd star in the form of Rin (who you're gonna pay 14 million dollars for next year's service)?

[Indazone]

lol Lin can put up Linsanity numbers again only if he plays for the Lakers and Dantoni. Never gonna happen with McHale.

[Indazone]

Kevin Lowry and Mchale. Something about McHale and point guards...hmm?

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7974223/houston-rockets-kyle-lowry-issue-kevin-mchale-coach

Kyle Lowry (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3012/kyle-lowry) expects the Houston Rockets (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/hou/houston-rockets)' backcourt to look a little different next season.
The Rockets guard told the Houston Chronicle on Friday that he does not think he andGoran Dragic (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3423/goran-dragic) will both return next season. And he is especially unlikely to play for Houston if Kevin McHale returns as coach.

“http://a.espncdn.com/i/headshots/nba/players/65/3012.jpgIf things aren't addressed coaching-wise, I guess I have to be moved.
”-- Kyle Lowry on Kevin McHale"I don't think so," Lowry told the newspaper about playing under McHale. "I honestly think it would be tough. Things have to be addressed. The situation would have to be addressed.
"If things aren't addressed coaching-wise, I guess I have to be moved."

[Pelicans78]

I wanted the Hornets/Pelicans to draft him at 10 last year instead of Austin Rivers. He has a good all-around game with a 7'3 wingspan, 7% body fat and a great vertical. He won't ever be an offensive option, but he can develop into a solid scorer while defending, rebounding, ans getting some assists.

[Indazone]

You watch, Morey is going to package Asik, Lin, Jones, or Parson's for Bosh or LaMarcus Aldridge and a guard upgrade.

[DMC]

Lin isn't moving. Jones and a PG maybe.

[Xsatyr]

He is not a stretch four atm.

[313]

Other than taking 4 steps to finish the play, pretty athletic.

he took two steps

I'd take him on spurs asap

[Xsatyr]

Indeed. He gathered the ball on his right foot and took two steps.

[djohn2oo8]

Dude is a baller. Needs to work on defense a bit.

[sook]

Apart from the fact that Diaw was taking a dump on him, he took a pretty big dumb on the spurs too. If we were to see who won this contest I'd say that Diaw managed a couple of nuggets and TJ went full on diarrhea.

I was a fan of him going back to the Wildcat days and was really surprised he dropped that far down tbh. He's a perfect 4 in today's NBA and a great compliment to Dwight. Was hoping the Spurs could have tried to buy low when he was riding the bench last year. Happy he's finding success, wish he wasn't on a team with a bunch of clowns that's difficult to root for tbh.

Dwight's the only clown...and he's producing so it doesn't matter.

I would disagree but it's a subjective matter so no point in arguing tbh.

[djohn2oo8]

Jones, 11-15 for 30 tonight. Granted it's the Jazz, but he has this kind of potential. Just needs to work his ass off in the summer on post game, and jumpshot.

[sook]

^ Dwight wasn't even playing and we whooped them so it should tell you how bad the Jazz are. I llke TJ and he is a good player but that jazz defense was terrible :lol

Jones played well against the Heat too, it was puzzling why he wasn't in late in the game. Even with Dwight in, they don't run enough plays for TJ.

Yea, thats when we went on our scoring drought. Stupid sub.

TJ too legit to quit...D-Mo going hard as well.
