I'm not sure how he dug out that last offensive rebound when he went to the floor. Jones not only got it, but somehow made the pass to Harden. The guy impressed me. Loved how he seemed to get more comfortable as the game went on, and was grabbing offensive boards like a madman. Boy, have we needed someone to do that. We seem to now have a surfeit of talent at the 4 spot, folks. Kudos to Morey! (White who??)
What is his wingspan? His arms don't look exceptionally long UNTIL he goes to grab the boards and then he looks like hes got stretch armstrong arms. Impressive. He's hungry.
Maybe it was because they where stretching out the four early in the season up until recently. Weren't all the power forwards taking outside shots...
I was going to say, the way Jones goes up strong above the rim reminds me of when Landry first emerged.
If he keeps this up, I think he is the best of the current batch of 4/5 on the team aside Asik. He can develop into a Gibson type of PF.
I hate reactions over one game, but there was so much to like about T. Jones' play. The boxing out, the hustle plays, the finishes around the basket, the athleticism... I'm really excited to watch this kid play.
I agree with all of this. I think T-Rob needs some time at RGV kid needs some confidence. When he is out there he is either moving to fast or not moving with purpose. A few weeks down there would do wonders for him just like it has all other young guys who are willing to work on thier game (accept White).
