Summary
Terrence Jones is one of those players that will do a lot to help his team win but also frustrate you that he isn't more dominant given his physical gifts, much like Lamar Odom. Jones' is know most for his offensive skills, but where he'll make his bread and butter in the NBA is on defense, given his length, strength, and athleticism, Jones could be an awesome defender who can body up bigs and switch on the smaller players. If he can improve his shooting and play in the post more, Jones could also be a serious threat on offense but right now it's looking like his floor is a strong defender and glue guy on offense, which would be a nice return for a late-lottery pick.
