Could we trade back in the first and try getting this guy. He has all the attributes and physical tools and play like a beast every game. Heck, I think he could be playing football if he wanted to. I'd like for us to get bigger. Just wondering what y'all think. Wouldn't mind giving a next year first to grab Jones. Would be awesome to have Davis and Jones in this year draft.

No thanks. He is undersized for the four and doesn't provide the perimeter athleticism or range to the play three. He has flashes of attitude problems and doesn't necessarily have the overall package a lottery pick should. I wouldn't mind a Terrence Jones late in the first or top of second...but anything higher would be a reach (IMO). NBADraft.net has him compared to Marvin Williams while draftexpress has him best case as Michael Beasley..though Beasley is a much better shooter.

FWIW, IMO.

Im not taking him this year as a lotto pick.

I'm all for Davis.

I think Jones is someone who is going to be a 15-20 pick player. I wouldn't mind trading in that range and grab him for a future pick.

Thomas Robinson is a sure lotto pick and is being dominated by Jones right now.

First off, Anthony Davis is our guy.

Second, Terrence Jones is an undersized power forward, which is not one of our huge needs.

Third, if we were going to package guys together it better be Davis and Kidd-Gilchrist.

Theres no way we getting Davis and Gilchrist. Both are going in the top five.

I brought up Jones bc he's one who we could trade back up and get in the 15-20 range.

Thomas Robinson is probably a sure lotto pick. Hes also flashing attitude problems right now. Jones is dominating Robinson tonight. Jones is not a lotto pick but I'd like to trade back in the mid to take this guy.

I think in the NBA, attitude is not so much a problem like in the NFL. If you watch, many players from Lebron to Blake Griffin to etc.... all flash attitude problem. I think it has to do more within the game itself than just the player.

If we could trade Thomas to get Terrance I would do that.

C- Bismack Biyombo, Byron Mullens

PF- Anthony Davis, Terrence Jones, D.J. White

SF- Reggie Williams, Corey Maggette, Derrick Brown

SG- Gerald Henderson

PG- Kemba Walker

That's a solid group right there to continue the rebuilding process with.

Would be nice. I would try trading Maggette also.

Not a fan of his shot selection. Over the past two years I have seen him rely way too much on his athleticism and try to over power people. That won't work in the NBA. He needs some work on his shot for him to be successful in the NBA. He's a pretty well rounded player but with the way he plays he needs a mid range shot.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is a wild statement it’s to late to save his season with six games left? That mountain of bad film as a rookie with trash coaching a weak azz line and dismal WRs. Guys that can’t catch on with other teams or guys traded to teams that are subpar at best. We put Bryce in a terrible situation to start his career does that matter to you or you feel he should’ve, as a rookie elevate this dumpster fire. If you’re giving him a fair assessment judge him off the last four games a good o-line decent WRs still not comparable to any other young QB WR room Hou (tank/nico..) Tua (Hill/Waddle) Caleb (Moore/Rome/Allen) let’s see what he can do with a decent structure around him for the next few weeks then let’s revisit how we’re going to grade or assess his performances.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By KSpan · Posted

      As a bit of counterpoint, if he wanted to continue his professional career then handling it like a mature adult was the only option. Dude had been playing like absolute ass and needed to own it. It's great that he did but it's not like he didn't have a large amount of self interest in doing so. Not picking on Bryce specifically here, as this applies to any player or even anyone struggling early in their career. And he still has a long way to go, but signs are positive.

      Ja'Tavion Sanders avoids serious injury

      By Captroop · Posted

      I agree he could still develop, but I think that could still be developed in practice. Just after a scary injury like that, I'm nervous to see him get reps in a live game situation when the best possible outcome is nothing more than worsening our draft selection. That said, I'm 100% not a doctor, so if he's clear to play, he wants to play, and there's no potential of aggravating this injury (which by all accounts it doesn't seem that is the case for this type of injury) then go for it, I guess.   But you hit the nail on the head. This draft class is really impressive. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a rookie that I'd actually prefer shutting him down. His game is so apparent that he doesn't need to prove anything at this point. Can't remember the last time that happened!
