I wrote a fanpost (that unfortunately received no responses) asking if anyone knew anything about Jones and the draft.

ESPN insider has him in the the mid-late second round, but said at least a handful of teams like him as a mid first-rounder. Although its a cliche, its true… it only takes one. Only one team needs to like Jones enough and he may consider cashing his paycheck sooner rather than later. There’s even a more of a chance of that if its six teams, rather than one.

He follows in Alexanders footsteps. Maybe high in the draft but won’t pan out. Needs to stay another year to gain muscle and consistency on his mid range shots. With that said how can you pass up a few million.. Hopefully he goes out with a bang.

Don’t get me wrong, I love his defensive game, but Ebanks has no offensive game at all. He cant score outside of three feet to save his life. I just can’t imagine an NBA team spending a top pick on a guy who can’t score.

has been below-average in terms of offensive performance, outside of putbacks and inside moves from offensive rebounds, and when I say below-average I mean relative to the college game.

He is foolish if he decides to leave early. The only person more foolish would be the NBA team that selects him in the first round (although I clearly understand that the significance of the NBA draft is much less compared to other sports—therefore, one team may gamble and select him based on raw talent).

Also, Da’Sean Butler will not be a first rounder, in my opinion. He reminds me a lot of that Lawrence Moten that played at Syracuse…..very nice college player whose game doesn’t translate that well to the NBA.

No way shape or form is Ebanks ready for the NBA. If he wants to have NBA longevity, then he needs “at least” one more year in college.
