    In the time Jones was injured, Dmo's 3 point shooting improved from high 20's to near 37% (can u find many people over 7 feet with that high? maybe any other centers or power forwards?), his post possessions were lower production than jones' in 2013-14, last year, he was what? 3rd or 4th in the entire league in his 3rd year? His defense previously was undisciplined, and in general the game just moved too fast for him, he'll never be an outstanding defender, but he is disciplined now.

    I was one who supported Jones as the starter, but last year, dmo improved drastically in so many areas, he still can't run a pick and roll for **** (Jones is an elite roll man), and that's what'll probably stop him ever being a 20+ scorer. But at this point, his skill set clearly has him leaps and bounds ahead of Jones in value and performance. I like Jones, but as a bench player, as energy/hustle, moreso than Smith because he at least plays within himself. Dmo on the other hand provides legit spacing and shot creation, he's still learning too, in his final game, he finally figured out how to get his shot off against the freakish length of Davis by forcing contact to disrupt his rhythm (no doubt from hakeem, it's one of his old tricks), something he heavily struggled with even earlier in the season.

    Still don't agree with a lot of what you say, but obviously you knew something even if it made no sense to most of us. :p
