The dude has been killing it in the D-League, and Jones has been killing us. Play him JB!! No excuse that bona fide scrub TJ gets burn over Harrell.

every time a new account praises some random player I accuse him of that player only fan and others call me hypocrite. Doesn't mean I'm wrong.
And yet in Jone's D League season his per 36 is better than Harell's despite Harrell averaging 39MPG in the D League. TJones Harrell I'm not a Jones's apologist just bringing in some context here.
I remember Jones tearing it up as well, but Harrell is a different type of player. High energy, high IQ (so it seems, he's a 3 year Pitino guy), shows some semblance of fluidity (Jones shows none), and has a jumper that doesn't look like a catapult.
Jones was awesome in RGV, it's just that he's terrible in the NBA. He's like the NBA version of a AAAA player. Kills it in the minors, sucks in the bigs. Since we know that, might as well see what you have in Harrell.
he's been killing? ... oh in the d-league. my bad... dos anyone know how silly it sounds when you place the hope on a second round rookie who cant even get regular p/t?
He's NOT getting regular playing time, but that's not to say that he shouldn't be. The Rockets are just pretty terrible when it comes to rotations and which players to play. There's absolutely no reason to play Terrence Jones over Harrell.
Jones isn't terrible in the NBA, stop pushing that agenda. Harrell, despite his energy, still can't get consistent minutes? You know how many technical has in his limited time? Tied in 10th among PF.... He's still learning.
I know there are like 3 of you left still believing that Jones is better than terrible at the NBA level and there's just nothing that can be done to help you guys. Your blind belief won't change anything.
Aside from Jones outplaying Harrell in his limited minutes? Look at the advanced stats and per 36 minutes. No doubt Jones has been regressing with each season since his sophomore, but Harrell ain't ready yet.
We have nothing to lose, if Harrell sucks, oh well, Jones was **** anyways. If not, we found a gem. Imagine if the Warriors had the same status-quo mentality, Draymond never would've gotten a chance to shine like he has.
