    T Jones is NOT undersized. Compare him to other PFs in the league. Since when is 6'9 250 undersized?

    TJones really looks sharp. Couple 3s, strong cuts, boards. Slick plays from Lin, DMo and Dwight, too. - Jonathan feigen....

    Let's go !!! red nation !!!!

    Fair or not, he will always be called the Stomper.

    These are power forwards, its a mans position that's why they got rid of these tampon wearing three point shooters. Defense and rebounding should be #1. See the list below, those guys could care less about shooting threes. Otis Thorpe, remember him. D-Mo gained weight so that he can hang with the guys on this list not so that he can be PPat and MMorris. You guys with your idiotic spread 4 fetish. :rolleyes:

    Dennis Rodman - 6'7" - 210 pounds
    Karl Malone - 6'9" - 250 pounds
    Shawn Kemp - 6'10" - 230 pounds
    Kevin McHale- 6'10" - 210 pounds
    Charles Barkley - 6'6" - 252 pounds

    That's another era, unfortunately. You get less and less of the traditional big.

    The spread-4 isn't a fetish. It's the way a lot of teams are geared to play now, like it or (in your case) not.

    Dwight could be stronger, sure. As rookies at the combine Dwight benched 225 lbs. 7 times, Jones did it 12 times. I don't think they are as far off strength wise as you think. I also don't think he is that much bulkier. Like I pointed out, they are only ten pounds apart. I am not saying Dwight isn't stronger and bulkier, he is. I just don't think he is obviously so. I mean a 6'9 and 6'10 guy with identical body-fat and a ten pound difference will look about the same size. This is not shorting Howard, I just think Jones is a beast in his own right.

    I am just pointing out that there are power forwards in this league that aren't considered undersized that are around Terrance's size. I don't think what I wrote is irrelevant as this has become a discussion on whether he is big enough to man the 4 in the NBA. I think he is, and I pointed out that guys his size are doing it right now.

    Right now T. Jones is the closest thing we have to a Power Forward. Greg Smith and Asik can't spread the floor, D-Mo gets pushed around like a bowling pin under the basket.

    Just try to stop with those SF considerations. Never done a thing for Mook and Derrick Williams.
    Play him strictly at PF and good things will happen. Leave the other stuff to Covington.

    Man, I didn't watch much Summer League, but TJones' shot was ugly last year. Looked like it needed to be reworked completely......

    Dwight has a standing reach of 9'4
    Jones has a standing reach of 8'11

    Dwight has a 7'4 wingspan
    Jones has a 7'2 wingspan

    Dwight is longer, stronger, heavier, more explosive, hence why he can be so dominant defensively. You basically have a 6ft9 guy with the measureables of a much taller person, he can naturally be more explosive, have better foot speed, lateral quickness and all that.

    But yes Jones isn't undersized lol.

    Was it a nudge? I thought it was a beating

    You're exaggerating here

    TJones had to put his foot down regarding talking about the time he put his foot down.

    Did you have a hidden meaning with these statements??? Something tells me you did. Clever I might say so, if this was your intent haha.

    1) "...your not gonna catch him sleeping"
    Up all night with that Portland incident.

    2) "...going to work hard no matter how dark the road ahead of him is"
    dark alley with homeless guy

    3) "...always step up his game"
    and lastly stepping on the homeless guy

    Sorry if I'm wrong for this post...need some sleep badly haha. I'm probably reading wayyyy into this haha.
