David Jones, Huge Potential Piece This Year

[paultzman]

His versatility is most welcomed, does a lot of little things that translate to winning most times. Hopefully his outside stroke is on a positive arc;

14 and 7, first full yr playing in the BE playing with Freeman-Liberty.... would expect that to translate well playing with the likes of Posh/Curbelo

 

[Fizzy]

See how these guys mesh. Posh is the leader but this guy could be our best offensive player

 

[paultzman]

Hops

Joel commentary too

As the summer winds down, we start a look at what the men’s basketball team has changed since the end of last season.

Jones and Curbelo commentary from hyperbolic Rothstein

 

[Lou’s Army]

not really sure what we will get from Curbelo. Seems like a good kid, but gets in his own head a lot based what I saw in DR. Things gotta be going really good for him to be effective. He has Julius Randle syndrome

I don't think he was that way in high school or his freshman year, so if it's not lingering physical issues, they should get him to a sports psychologist to help him get out of his own way.

Power forward?!

 

[SJU85]

Power forward?!

Same question can be asked about the No.1 guy on the list, Jaime Jaquez, Jr. who might be an inch taller than Jones. Jones will be starting at PF in most likely lineups.

 

[NCJohnnie]

Also have a hard time seeing Nova's Brandon Slater as # 12 power forward?? Have to think frosh Whitmore will be more of the power forward for Nova.

 

[MugCostanza]

Yeah I don’t know a universe where Julian Strawther is considered a PF

 

[Astoria STH]

The lion in the corner, for anyone who doesn’t watch Big East games religiously all I can say is watch out. He can do it all via aggression, power and presence.

Look at the arms on Pinzon! He must have put in some work in the off-season

He was all like "Who wants two tickets to the gun show? Pa-DOW, Pa-DOW"

 

[gregbodkin]

If we have the number 10 PF in the country, then why were we picked to be only #6 in the BE? Is he playing alone?

Fuel to fire, he also ranked Posh as the #7 PG.

 

[Anthony Mattia]

If we have the number 10 PF in the country, then why were we picked to be only #6 in the BE? Is he playing alone?

Because we don't have any proven high percentage 3 point shooters.
