    It will take a 6'10" very quick player to control him at range. But around the basket you have to have a center on him. These match ups keep coaches up late into the night.

    he could play both, and he has the potential to be way better than parsons is even on defense. jones at kentucky was a better defender than parsons was at florida. i can see him being a lamar odom type player in the nba.

    as for d-mo...he hasnt even played in the nba yet so who knows how he will play over here. i do love him as a prospect though

    If they want a good lockerroom guy, I don't expect their real high on the guy who throws temper tantrums and says he can't coexist with his coach.

    And Jones is not a prospect??? D-Mo played against much better opponents than Jones. There is a ton more tape on D-Mo than Jones. And I have to ask again - have any of you seen a D-Mo game? If not would you please excuse your self from this conversation.

    When did Lowry throw a temper tantrum? And he got along with coaches before this year just fine. I think Kyle's attitude problems are extremely exaggerated (and taken out of context) around here. All that he implied was that there is probably not room for both him and Goran given their talent and contract situations. It's only natural for a guy to want to go where he has the best opportunity to play.

    You guys make him out to sound like T-will.

    Are we talking about Terrence Jones?
    You are delusional if you think D-MO has played better comp than Terrence Jones, who played in college basketball and against some of the best players in the world. Jones is a better prospect than D-Mo is/was. If they both came out last season in the draft D-Mo would be a fringe lottery pick while Jones could have been in the discussion in the top 5-10.

    So have you bothered to watch D-Mo's games? D-Mo could be a top 5 pick this year. And I do not remember you being around the discussions about the live Prokom games this year. So basically you do not have a clue. There is no other conclusion.

    What? D-Mo is nothing special at all. At best you're getting a fringe starter who can effectively stretch the floor, imo. And even that will take time. I could be wrong and I really haven't seen him play much, but I haven't seen anything that would make me believe he's capable of more.

    And exactly why doesn't Cousins fit with Drummond? The first one is a very talented offensive player and week defensively, while the other is a very talented defensively and weak offensively. One puts up points and the other holds down the paint. Where's the problem?

    right. but you see, pjIII still has more potential than d-mo. he is a FREAK athlectically. I agree, I think D-Mo is better and has more skills right now, but pjIII can be a star in the perfect situation. He is just so talented. and he is also much younger.

    OK obviously none of you all have watched D-Mo games. I assume that you would have said so if you did. So WTF are you basing your opinions on? Nothing obviously. He would give Robinson a run for his money for the top PF chosen in this year's draft.

    Rocketfan713 has jumped the shark. Lol @ thinking NCAA Basketball is a higher level than a pro league.

    PJ3 and Motie would be interesting to watch play together at the 4/5 in a modified small ball speed lineup.
