Is Perry Jones the most disappointing prospect in the last 10 years?

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
How is this dude not in the NBA? Why exactly couldn't he put it together, he had everything you'd want from a prospect -

6'11"
7'2" wingspan
39" vertical

Solid skillset to build on for someone his size, extremely fluid athlete for someone who was just a hair under 7 feet tall. He showed flashes of his game when KD was hurt -







@Loose Did this dude just not have a work ethic like at all? He's currently in the developmental league, you would think someone like the Nets, Rockets or Lakers would have taken a flyer on him but nope. He did have some troubling signs in HS, like the fact he didn't even average double digits in PPG :dead: but still you would think someone would help him focus and put all the pieces together.

I remember on draft night we was like :merchant: when he fell to the Heat, and then everyone was like :wtf: when they passed, and then everyone was like :wow: when the Thunder got him. Now, he's out the league and trying to work his way back, shyt doesn't make sense, he's like the Jonathan Bender for this era.

Don't bring this clown back up again :pacspit::pacspit::pacspit:

He was supposed to be the 20/7/5 off the bench ..

He was supposed to bring the slack off Durant in that position .

His mother should have swallowed that one.

He was a straight disappointment..

Even on 2K .. his potential was :shaq2:

I swear to god I told everyone he would be a bust. fukk his height, vertical, whatever. Dude doesn't have the love for the game needed to succeed at this level.


I mean, he gotta love of money though, right? :jbhmm:


The fact he couldn't really score in HS was a troubling sign, but still everyone just thought he'd be able to put it together. He went from a top 3 pick (There was even talk of TOP pick), to middle lottery, to late first rounder in the span of a year.

Plenty of guys hurt their knees, he came back from it and nobody gave him a look -




Chris McCullough was drafted with a torn ACL.


I think he hurt his hip and played five games in the D-League. He was supposed to be out for 2 weeks and then he never came back. He wasn't exactly lighting the D-League on fire either. He was averaging 13.2 pts in 32.4 mins with percentages of 39/39/71%. He's 24, been in the NBA for three seasons...he should've dominated the D-League.

He has all the tools but I could tell when he was at Baylor that he didn't have that killer instinct :francis:
A lot of times it looks like he's not even interested in basketball :yeshrug:
He probably wasn't I don't know :yeshrug:

Optimistic But I Got Hands Tho
What his DAP per made FG percentage looking like? Dahntay is a legend in made shot celebration game. :jbhmm: How many Africans do you think Perry is willing to punch in the balls?

Perry aint bout that life. I just be hoping the work ethic rubs off on these younger dudes like Jordan McCrae...Quinn Cook, Sir'Dom....etc.
