    If the reports are true that Jones wants to play 3 because he doesn't like to scrum under the basket then Jones is going to bust as a 3, as a 4, as a 2, 1, or a 5. He's simply going to bust if he dislikes physicality.
    I suspect it is true. I have questioned this guy's mentality since he was at Duncan. I've gone back and forth on him because he has such high athletic potential and a great basketball skill set. But I'm done. I'm convinced he's a whiner baby quitter and once he's got a few million he'll be firmly set playing loser ball.

    Do not want. Sorry.

    Any reaction at this pick range in the draft is stupid.

    Nobody here has a clue how these players will turn out. Nobody here has the knowledge or resources to evaluate players that a pro team does.

    I read this posts saying "they should pick X" or "Y will be a bust". How can you know that?

    Because of how Patterson and Morris have turned out, I'm skeptical of any player we take.

    So are you saying we shouldnt have an opinion... Because we COULD be wrong??

    What fun is that? Why are trying to suck the fun out of the draft for fans? Seems a bit bitter...

    Lol Marcus Morris barely played a full-season in the NBA( lockout games wise)

    Patrick Patterson is good player recovering from injuries, lol give them time

    Even D-Mo will have a huge learning curve in the NBA, rarely do rookies come in their first season and DOMINATE

    I want Ross. If we can get one of the following with him (Leonard, Henson, or Moultrie) I will be happy.

    Not bitter, opinions are great, but all these opinions are uninformed, there's no way any of us can predict future performance.

    Why get excited we will do what we always do. Houston trades their pick for a second round pick.

    I just think the most fun part of the draft is the guessing and predicting leading up to it

    Those two players sound good to me at this point.

    Yeah, none of us knows what the future holds - so what?

    Exactly, even with all the questions surrounding Perry Jones. I feel alot better about him than I did (or do) about Marcus Morris.


    Tyler Zeller and Meyers Leonard at worst, gives you a serviceable starter or backup center. We need both.

    Would be a weird draft. Not big fans of either, but are decent picks for where the Rockets pick.

    I would be upset. Not so much for the Zeller pick, but for PJIII, i would have my concerns.
