    I’m probably a bigger Tyrique fan than most. His ability to slow down the foul train has me encouraged. Now work on the FT’s.
    It was interesting hearing Steele at the golf outing talk about how Jones played at 260 last year and how he's challenged him to get to 235 this year so he can play longer stretches.

    I have no issue with wanting guys who are 6'9 to take 3's. Look at Spellman from Villanova.

    BUT, I do not see that in Jones game AT ALL. He looks to be a pure post player to me.

    I guess if he loses some weight and becomes a lot more mobile theres a chance......

    Jones will play more when he gets the fouls under control. Maybe the weight would help with knee issues (which he seems to have sometimes). If X is going to be successful this year, the Jones Enigma needs a solution.
    "He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

    He seemed to be much better with the fouls last year, I think it was more of a conditioning thing for him last year (he frequently seemed gassed running up and down the floor). He also had two pretty good players in the same position, so there's that as well. We're gonna need a lot more from him this year, and I think he's gonna deliver.

    I agree. With our history of big men making big jumps from underclassmen to upperclassmen I am feeling real good about Jones. He is way ahead of some of our recent better big men at this point in his career.
