Sign Bobby Jones

[oldschool1]

The sixers have an open spot on the roster. If they want to make a run in the playoffs, they should go in with a full roster. Jones would also give them some flexibility to rest some of their players at the end of the regular season. if i remember right, Raja Bell was brought in late in the 2001 season, and made a contribution in the playoffs. the coaches and jones are both familiar with each other. There is no downside to this move, other than a few comcast $'s.

I think he's coaching High School BB in North Carolina.

I actually like how BJ fits on this team. He looked to have some potential as an athletic defender who was developing a three point shot. Sort of like a young Raja Bell.

On the flip side, he lacks polish, so wouldn't make an impact this year like a decent back-up center could. He was really sloppy looking in the summer league, and I doubt he would find minutes for him since he would be behind Carney (who has been filling the same role.)

If Carney or Green end up being moved this summer, I wouldn't mind bringing BJ back into the fold.

I'd rather see Petteri Koponen

but that's another story lol

Jones would be worth bringing in if Carney/Green were moved, like the other posters mentioned. He probably wouldn't get much PT if he was brought in now.

Your the man... I've harbored ill feelings on this since draft night...

I think the Sixers need to bring in a guy that can hit 3's. If Jones is that type, so be it.

I know 3's are overrated but if the Sixers are down by 3 in the closing seconds of a tight playoff game, they really lack shooters that can take those types of shots.

Why????? He is a nothing player and who cares who the 15th player on the roster is, that is a move that doesn't need to be made, if it gets down to Bobby Jones, the season is long done.
