Ok watch PJ III turn into Anthony Randolph v.2 and flop on his face. The kid is stuck between 3 positions at a NBA level. Trust me Jones has the most bust potential out of the first 10-15 prospects on the boards. Quincy Miller will be picked before Jones watch what Miller will do when he's given the opportunity to do so


Have to say, Swagtastic, I'd flip the names in your post. Why are you so high on Quincy?

PJ3 woulda been of been top 10 last yr and hes going to be top 10 dis yr. Q.miller had 5 games to play w/o PJ3 and he played good / decent / and whack during that time. Not to mention his injury concerns and all of a sudden things are looking like hes a 2yr player or a 1 and done late lottery potential pick. Bust factor or not, PJ3 has been like top 10 for the last 2yrs ri now. Not even a knock to Q.miller either, he'll always be 3rd on my raptor draft board big board.


Last years draft was crap compared to this and next years. Look who went #10 Jimmer-can-I-chuck-a shot-or-what-Ferdette . Hell if Jan Vasley made the top 5 Jones would easily be ahead of him IMHO. Jones would have been IMHO a top 10 pick but so what it's like saying Araujo was a top 10 pick or Charlie V was. I am not high on Perry Jones III the guy is rail thin. I don't see him being the guy I waste a pick on if I am Toronto he's not better then Ed Davis or Amir Johnson as a PF and isn't a C. Trust me some team will bank on him being this great prospect but I think Miller have the better NBA career and rookie season.

I like Miller for the simple fact he's a legit swing Toronto needs in the worst way. Second Miller have more potential to be a long term piece for us. If you guys like Jones cool, I just am not sipping that kool-aid I am sipping the Drummond/Anthony Davis kool-aid 1st then the Miller/Barnes stuff secondly.

Miller is probably a stretch PF in the NBA. I don't know if he's fast enough to guard college SFs let alone NBA ones

I only wan't to draft a SF so Q.miller is on my draft board by him being one of the best college SF prospect, he just hasn't been doing anything from the little I see and from the other posters are saying. For the record, PJ3 says he wants to play the 3, that his nba postion is the 3. His HS game was that of a SF, Baylor started putting him in the post. But if derrick williams is at 3, then why not PJ as an option. Ino he has better handles than Williams. The more options that become available in this draft, the better...

No, I mean why do you think this? Did you watch his pre-ACL games?

I want him to be good but I didn't know what he was trying to do or be the other day, and he wasn't moving well. TBF, it's the only game I've seen(though I saw it twice) and I haven't written him off. I understand that it takes time to recover from surgery but I can only compare him to injured white guys after that performance, and it's hard to even picture him as particularly athletic or dominant offensively, let alone assume that.

Why the faith?

lol Evansville is getting smacked HARD. Henson and Zeller got good chemistry with that high-low going on.

You keep saying this like you're oblivious to him recovering from an ACL injury.


He was a much quicker player previous to it...if he still moves at this pace come February or March only then will I agree with your comment.
