Trob is plenty good weight size for the pf spot I can't believe your trying to say the 8 lbs tjones has on him is a big deal the guy is a monster physically his shoulders are huge he's got 5% body fat. If you have watched the games Trob has played he hasn't been physically overmatched at all and gets position for entry passes in the post and has had spurts of defensive brilliance were he wrecks havoc on everyone. I'm not trying to hate on tjones I think he should be the starter just really really like trobs long term potential. He was the 5th pick for a reason and we traded our quality starting pf for him. He needs alot of work just like all young bigs do including tjones and dmo but he does have attributes to his game that the other two wont ever have. It's very unique for a pf that's 6'9 244 with his wingspan to have the quickness and vertical he has. It's funny because out of all our young bigs he's the only one that's scored 10 points in a quarter and brought us back into the game (pacers). We were down 22 and by halftime we were down 5 and back in the game. Trob was the focal point of the offense in that stretch it wasn't him getting easy baskets off other players playmaking he even have Greg smith some easy buckets with his passes. Tjones is consistent for a rookie which is great and I like his future but Trob has a chance to be a stud once he understands the offense and the game slows down. IMO he will make the biggest jump out of every big we have on the team and maybe the whole team any position. It won't surprise me if he's the 2nd best player on the team next yr I think he's that good and improved e wry yr at Kansas leaps and bounds. If he improves his mid range jumper and gets the starting job I think he will be a 15/10. I know that sounds crazy to some but out offense is tailor made for his game. There's a reason morey traded for the guy and has high expectations for him.
Jones is bigger than Robinson and actually knows how to play. He looks like he can get bigger as well whereas Robinson looks to be close to his physical peak size already.
I like both TRob and TJ. TR is physically superior and better defender now and in the future, but really raw on offense, very much like Shumpert from Knicks. TJ is off. much smoother and well rounded. Given limited offense by both Asik and GSmith, I understand why coaches prefer to play DMo and TJ ahead of TR. But TR has the bigger potential of them all IMO.
TJ reminds me of a young Jermaine O'neal. He's a little more like a SF than JO but has flashes of being a factor
TRob has higher upside. I mean this guy was the #5 pick. Give him an offseason with McHale and the trainers and I think he'll surprise us next year.
Damn Jones making me look smart...not easy to do by the way. Been saying he should play ALL year! Dude is better than Morris and has been since summer league and is at least on 2Pat's level right now as a rookie. He just needs minutes and the freedom to make mistakes without the coaches ruining his confidence.
Jones would have been a top 5 pick if he would have came out the year before. He slipped when he became more of a role player on a team consisting of Anthony Davis, MKG, and Lamb..
I disagree with this. I like both TRob and TJones, but watching their games. TJones seems to have a game that is NBA ready. TRob might have a higher vertical but when you watch him in college and so far in the NBA he doesn't really get up on his shots unless it's for an alley oop. I think some of us saw that TJones' game was more NBA ready which is why we were begging McHale to at least give him some minutes. It's still very early but T Jones' game in college and in the D League looks like it would work in the NBA. On the other hand I think T Rob plays too much below the rim unless it's a fast break or alleyoop. Hopefully they both turn out to be great.
lmao i notice Terrence Jones is just as good as D Mo is on 2k now. Im glad 2k finally changed Jones ratings for the better, because he used to be hot garbage months ago.
He wasn't a role player, he was a major part of them winning the championship. He can do it all. He can block shots, rebound, shoot from mid range. He's got to improve his post game, and his long-range shooting, but he's got all the tools to be Josh Smith. He should never have been there at #18, but other team's stupidity is our gain.
did ppl forget that tjones is younger than trob? and tjones was amazing in uk, but then ppl were too focus on anthony davis and forgot tjones existed.
