Steve Novak (Marquette) hit one of his two three-point attempts, finishing with five points. Terence Dials (Ohio State) did most of the damage for the blue squad (which included Paul Millsap of Louisiana Tech and Chris McCray of Maryland), accounting for almost half of his team’s point total with six.

I hope he is drafted, but there are no guarantees. There are too many players out there in the draft that can fit needs. Some good players will be sitting at home after the draft.

I do agree he needs to add some muscle, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. There is avery good deal of upside for a player with his size, defensive ability, and improved shooting.

I hope he does, but it certainly isn't a lock at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones created buzz this week, with his incredible length, leaping ability and end-to-end speed for a player his size (6-10). As one NBA personnel guy put it, Jones is a case where you have to imagine what he’ll be a few years down the row with added strength. Given the room for improvement in his body and skill-set, it would be a major surprise if Jones wasn’t drafted in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
