D. Jones looks like the real deal. This kid is like a hidden gem with upside that has potential to explode if given a chance. How many gurds can give you 9 rebs or 4 blocks? His jumper is improving. He is aggressive. I can see why Henny let Liggins go and kept Jones around. They must have seen in practice during the summer what Jones is showing in the preseason right now. We gotta keep this kid.

I personally have loved how Henny has provided us with some good prospects

Vucevic looks pretty good
Ayon looks great
DeQuan looks like a real gem
Moore looking like a great backup PG
Nicholson is looking promising.

Now I just need to see how Afflalo and Harkless play.

I know they all won't work out, but it's going to be exciting to watch all these guys grow.

I guess I'm making lemonade.

Holy s*** D. Jones is explosive!!!!! We may have the steal of the rookie class wow.

I heard he didnt even start at Miami. Does anyone know why?

Magic GM Rob Hennigan said the club will start making cuts this coming week. Will anybody be able to tell the difference?

@ Jones highlight video. Is it me or does he look like he has a lil dribble too?

Chris Johnson will be cut any day now(now that Afflalo is back)
Armon will be cut likely after this game or the next one
The last 3 cuts will be made likely after the last game or the one before it

The Magic will still try to make moves but I do think The Johnsons are out of here.

Justin Harper might be gone and I can also see Quentin Richardson getting bought out.

There are many that want Jones to stay and if they can make a deal, I can see it happening.

Little known fact: Dequan Jones was a very highly touted member of the 2008 high school class (ranked #22 by Scout, #23 by Rivals and #28 by ESPN).

barring a trade happening i dont see dequan jones staying (though i want him too) over mcroberts. bottom line is if we cut mcroberts today some team would swoop him and sign him cause bigs are valuable and hes proven he can play. if we cut jones i highly doubt any team is gonna sign him cause sf's arent as valuable and he hasnt proven anything over a long period of time. so if im rob i keep mcroberts just for his tradability factor and try to flip him for a second rounder

Jones reminds me of mini Shawn Kemp when he attacks the basket.
