Maybe, but we'll still get comparable contribution.

We had Dwayne Jones. He was horrible back then, and has been pretty much out of the NBA since. Not terribly impressed.

Roster spots in short supply now with all the injuries. I think the team needs someone who offers more than Dwayne Jones.

Sorry I don't think when he averages 2 RPG that he's a great rebounder. If he was great at anything he would still be in the league at his siz and since he's not.....

Post by: Tr1boy on February 19, 2013, 08:08:29 PM: i would give him another chance. He got like a zero chance when we had him before in his career

He is everything we are looking for , except FT

But Danny can't greedy right now. Jones is basically a better Ryan Hollins. Will do his share of dirty work underneath, has a good wingspan, vertical leap and is not a bad passer.

Give him a 10 day imo. Last nbdl game he got 16 rebounds. Someones going to give him a shot if we don't.

I tend to agree, though I do like Jones.
Jones is a pure C. Not a big position of need for the team. If, heaven forbid, we get an injury at that position then Jones is a possibility.
