    The Rockets can score. With Dwight in the middle, scoring should come even easier for them.

    But some defense at the 4 spot would be nice.

    How is Jones on D?

    Positive - Great shot blocker, long arms - tries to pick to ball out of opponent hands at any time, athletic, smart.

    Negative - Lacks a bit of size.

    [CBL] says he's the next Dwight. So we have two Dwight's on our team.

    Actually he's not that good of shotblocker - just 1.3bpg in 24 games, 30.9mpg (D-League). It may be because he's wearing clown shoes every game.

    He's bigger than Horford, and Horford plays center most the time. I think Jones size for a PF is fine, although he needs to be a little more aggressive when it comes to denying position in the post which is something Horford does reasonably well.

    Personally, I think the only thing Jones needs to be one of the best defenders in the league is a nasty Garnett kind of attitude--not afraid to get in someone's face and make him uncomfortable. Jones still has that nice guy kind of attitude most rookies have.
