Best case for Perry Jones - Garnett or Odom? Dude is very talented - depending on his mentality, he could be as good as a Garnett or could be a Odom, who is considered one of the best talents in the game, but hasn't really reached his optimal potential.

There's a pretty huge talent disparity between Odom and Garnett. You have a 6th man vs a franchise player.

Talent, not really. Actual play, yes.

Right now my pick is Anthony Davis, even over Andre Drummond.

PJ really does have a great handle. That was an outstanding Tracy McGrady-esq drive to the basket.

So... what do you guys think about him potentially playing on the wing?

I love the Canada flag with those fans. This is awesome that we have travelling fans like that.

Now we see the aggressive and assertive version of him in scoring wise...his handle I have to see though, but last year first 5-6 games he was a good facilitator, bring the ball up to the court and passes very good, but now there's point guards on the team he doesn't have to do that...otherwise he always have good handle, not flashy like tmac but like hedo (doesn't lose the ball)..., right now he's taking advantage of his length and athleticism, his first step is solid due to his rare speed, but I want to see more of his deceptive moves ...but I can see him trying to post up more this season...

I think he has wing potential, I've seen it last year so idk why people kept saying he's only limited to 4. He'll do really good in transition, that's one of the areas he's good at.

Perry Jones finishes with 27 pts, 8 rebs in his season debut.

He played that way against Ryerson in the summer as well. He actually dove on the floor for a loose ball in that game.
