    Still not "known" for his shot, an occasional 3 in college doesn't mean your ray allen.

    3 1st round draft picks and we pass up on Perry Jones THREE TIMES...smh I'm cool with Jeremy Lamb at 12. But we should have gotten Tyler Zeller at 16 and Perry Jones at 18. Come on Darryl...

    Well you can only grab one of the two....and tbh I think we'll regret not getting PJIII because TJ will not have enough time to play. He'll waste away in the DLeague or on the bench and will learn a lot less than PJIII in one year, stunting his growth.

    Of the two Joneses, I'm much happier with Terrence. Not impressed with Perry - yet.

    Don't know why, but I like Jones quite a bit now. I was upset with the pick at first. Comes down to Patterson vs. Jones. I just think Jones has the higher upside.

    Yup, he's bigger and has a more diverse skill set then Patterson. Although Patterson is the better shooter, but that's something Terrence Jones can improve on.

    I don't understand all the love Zeller is getting over T Jones and White. Both Terrence and Royce weigh more than Zeller, and both have a higher standing reach than Zeller does.

    But Zeller played Center in college so he's perfect for the Rockets! :rolleyes:

    Zeller upside is a marginal rotation player. Jones, White, and Lamb all have all-star upside.

    Kind of like the Rockets passing 3 times on Rashard Lewis back in the day.

    At the end of the day Lewis was not worth his contract

    Most mocks last season had him in the top 5 before he pulled out of the draft.

    Terrence = Tough

    Perry = Soft.

    Simple as that.

    Every year, there seems to be a few players like this. Do any of these players ever live up to their prior mock draft results? I can't remember any, off the top of my head.
