2012 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Perry Jones
Position: Power Forward
Size: 6-10, 220
School: Baylor, Sophomore
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Summary: It is rare to find a player of Jones’ height with the athleticism that he possesses. He does not yet have a complete basketball game but all the skills are there for him to be a dynamic NBA player. However, he suffered through a disappointing freshman campaign which hurt his stock, ultimately resulting in his return to Waco. He is still a top-10 prospect based on talent alone and could sneak into the top five if he really emerges as a sophomore.
Player Comparison: Anthony Randolph. Potential, potential, potential. That is all we hear about when people discuss Jones and we keep waiting for Randolph to cash in on his potential as well. Both players are tall, lengthy, thin and athletically gifted, but still raw in their all-around game. Randolph has not reached that potential yet, but if Jones does, he can be a very special player.
