    Young is skinnier but he's actually shorter than Jones. I think he will be better than young, but the same type of player in regards to not having a true position. I think he would have a tough time defending good SFs and good PFs. Too slow for starting SFs and not big enough for starting PFs. I just really cannot see him as a starter on a playoff caliber team.

    He's bigger but his game is actually a lot like Thad's.

    Get the fuck outta here FAMS! You think Thaddeus Young and Terrance Jones are smilier players!

    I think T. Jones would have the most success embracing the power forward position. Just checked again and he's 6'9.5" (in shoes) and 252 with a 7'2.25" wingspan and 8'11" standing reach. If he tries to be a SF he will get stuck as a tweener.

    Actually I do. Young has more size, but I think Jones probably has a better handle.

    Jones is 6'9 1/2" 255 pounds........ That's a PF. Who can shoot and handle the ball.

    To put that in perspective, LeBron is 6'8" 250!

    Yeah, but he doesn't have a post game. Unless he develops that he's going to be stuck between the 3 and the 4.

    You sure about that? I swear he did just fine in the low block when I watched him play this season.

    You think we're crazy for comparing Jones to Young but you compare him to LeBron James? You've lost your marbles!

    At his size and athletic ability, if he had a post game he'd be a top-5 pick.

    He's likely mid-first. Though, it sounds like the Warriors could reach and take him at #7..

    The best part of having Ime Udoka on the Blazers was me whispering "Demo-Rat" every time he walked by.
