    Is Terrence Jones the one PF that we drafted that doesn't talk all mature like and hasn't overcome a mental condition?

    i was worried about this too
    but now i can understand Royce, he has a artistic soul
    so his mind works differently
    everything will be ok

    We don't need an artistic soul. We need an athletic soul. Royce's soul needs to stop writing songs and go to the soul gym to work on its soul athleticism.

    I have high hopes for Terrence Jones, I just hope he steps up to the plate. He seemed a bit hesitant in the interview going with all these safe answers. Donatas was straight Gangster last year talking about taking on Dwight and not going into the woods!

    Jones could end up being the best of the rookies.

    In 5 years who knows where any of the rookies will be, but it's going to be real hard not getting attached to these guys. Great attitude, great hustle and a desire to get better from all of them. I think TJones has a chance to be a hell of a starting PF in the league for a long time.

    LOL. I think that condition is known as saying very little with a lot of words. Well, let his game do the talking or whatever cliche is suitable here, but god what a boring interview.

    Man, 13 in 33, you're really predicting Terrance Jones averages close to a double double? That would be quite a feat! Don't know if I would bet on it, but it certainly would be nice....... Unfortunately, I doubt he'll get enough minutes even if he does turn out to be a prolific rebounder.

    I hope the rooks impress during training camp. I'll be disappointed if they never see the court. Someone's going to have to play out of position to some degree if the new guys are going to play - like Terrence at 3, or Dmo at 5. Sink or swim time.

    NBA is more a mental game (granted that the physical aspects are important too). If he can't cope with the pressure, he shouldn't even be in the gym.

    I see him transforming into more of an SF than Jsmoove (especially with our PF position so stacked atm) kinda in the vein of Ron Artest if he can improve his shot

    After watching him in the preseason and how effortless his points seemed to come and within the game rather than having plays run for him , I wouldnt bet against him. His game seems almost effortless , and I mean that as a compliment.


    You watch him play and dont really notice him a whole lot , then you look at the box score and he's got 20/10.


    I dont know what position he will get the majority of his minutes at , but he's going to get on the court early and often .... Could be at any of the three big spots.
    I can see him getting minutes at SF behind Parsons .... at PF behind Motejunas and behind Asik at C as he can defend any of those three positions and thats what playing time for most bigs boils down to - Who can you defend?

    I like this kid even this interview was quite boring. I hope one day he can be our starting PF.
