Re: Welcome James Jones
What's the problem with Felix? He played really well in the first half against Philly -- when he came off, Blatt seemed really pleased with his effort. He was involved defensively and with loose balls and he shot 2-2 (both 3s, though granted he banked one it), with 2 rebounds and a steal in 12 minutes. Not sure why he got no burn in the second half.
Against the Spurs in 13 minutes, he was 3-5 for 7 points, 4 boards, 3 assists, 1 steal, only 1 foul.
He's a guy I liked when he was drafted since he projected well as a role player. Can't shoot like some of these other guys. James Jones' skill set is almost completely different. I hope Felix survived the salary purge for a reason.
I just hope Powell is out of the mix. He can go to Canton and let another team sign him if they want him. As I said after they drafted him, it would be a minor miracle if he turned into an NBA player. Harris I can go either way with, but with Miller, Jones, and maybe Allen I don't see a need for him.
So still room for one, maybe two, bigs.
He's quietly been a disappointment so far in the SL. I was looking forward to him possibly replacing Gee's role but more limited minutes. James Jones, while playing limited minutes is an upgrade over both. If James Jones is playing it means we are blowing the other team out or we're using him for his specialty which is his 3 point shooting. Great signing.
