The Good:

– 7’2″ wingspan
– able to play both forward spots
– great athlete 
– versatile player

– good ball-handler
– huge potential/upside
– extremely skilled player

The Bad:

– never lived up to immense hype in college
game didn’t seem to improve much from his freshman to sophomore years

The Skinny:

Oh how the mighty have fallen – Perry Jones was once thought of as a potential #1 overall pick whenever he entered the NBA Draft – now he might not crack the top 20.  Still, for a team picking in the mid-first round, Jones could be a jewel of a pick.
