Kevin Jones 

Post#1 » by Harper4Ferry? » Fri Jun 29, 2012 6:19 am

Somehow he didn't get drafted, but I think that he would be a really good pick up to serve as our 4th big. He should be a rotational player in the NBA, and he had a good college career. I know that he's short, but has a larger wingspan than Zeller. And we're talking about getting a guy to play on the bench. He has to have more skill than Luke Harangody or Samardo Samuels(I'm not convinced he is a real person)

I like him. Would love to bring him to camp. The problem? This team is YOUNG. I doubt they want a third rookie on the roster.

I believe the Cavs like him too. I heard (Sports talk radio 92.3) that the Cavs were one of the first teams to contact him after the draft. I hope the Cavs can sign this guy.

Kevin Jones headlines list of eight best college players who went undrafted

West Virginia's Kevin Jones earned second-team All-American honors last season, scoring 19.9 points per game, grabbing 10.9 rebounds and shooting 50.9 percent from the field in the rugged Big East.

1. Kevin Jones, F, Sr., West Virginia
Comment: The 6-foot-8 forward did everything possible as a senior to earn a second-round look, carrying an otherwise uninspiring West Virginia team to the NCAA tournament. Unfortunately for Jones, that apparently wasn't enough to change NBA scouts' opinion he's unlikely to thrive in the league as a result of a lack of size and outside shooting combined with a game that is decidedly below the rim

Would also take a hard look at Drew Gordon, I was hoping that the Cavs would have taken him or possibly Jones had they kept all 4 picks. Personally, I dont think it matters if they keep another rookie on the final roster, or some borderline d-leaguer. I would want them to keep the best player regardless of how much time in the NBA he has had.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I could root for a player named Drew Gordon. Too many bad memories associated with someone close to that name.
