    Mason Jones had a stroke? But he's so young. Any word on how he's doing now? Did he go to the hospital?

    actually no , i like his caution with launching it up...in my experience, players mostly cool off as soon as they start taking heatcheck shots.

    And say what you will about Morey, I don't think he'd release a guy who just had a stroke. How heartless.

    U
    I bet Popovich already told their GM, "Add this kid into our shortlist. He could be our next Tony Parker"

    My question with any PG, especially an undrafted one with questions about their athleticism, is can he finish around the rim?

    Once we see that, I’m all aboard the Mason train.

    He is prob already a better ball handler, 3 point shooter than Hakeem. Just got to get him be better at defense, carrying a team, passing ams we are all set.

    It's crazy that you say that but some people think he might be more. Heard some people talking about how MJ is already the best player of all time.

    some people need to calm down on expectations here lol.

    let's just hope he develops into a consistent bench player first. anything beyond that is a huge +++++

    Air Jones has a nice ring to it.

    I think he should play over Nwaba. With everyone coming back Nwaba should be the obvious odd man out until we trade Gordon.

    Victor Oladipo, Eric Gordon, David Nwaba all need to be traded.

    That is the best way for Mason Jones to play more games.

    Mason Jones and Sterling Brown need to develop

    Comparable to Eddie Jones, Joe Johnson very smooth shooters

    Reminds me of Robert Reid a little, another big guard.

    I’m a Hogs fan so I was ecstatic when we signed Mason, he’s gonna be a legit player. Didn’t think he could run an offense like he has shown so far, he has improved his ball handling and playmaking so much. He’s definitely been watching Harden film all summer and working out with him. He’s been modeling his game after Harden for the last couple years and has the step back and a few of the foul drawing moves in his bag. He idolizes Harden so y’all will see some similarities in their games. Glad he’s getting minutes!
