    Terrance Jones >>> Chriss, especially in college

    Similar players. Chriss is probably a better athlete though.

    I like Chriss a lot, but setting the record for most fouls by a PAC 12 player makes me doubt his prospects of being a legitimately good NBA player.

    I'm not convinced about that in all honesty. Jones was an athletic 3 playing as a 4 in college. I would have rather had Terrance Jones as a true frosh over Chriss on this years team. I just don't see it working out for Chriss right away in the NBA for some reason.

    But Chriss is going to get paid in the NBA therefore he's making the right decision ... or so I hear

    You are either ready or not ... the money will be there if you are good enough

    Another year after next for Romar, regardless of outcome, unless they hire someone other than Jen Cohen

    I can already hear it now. "He lost his 3 best players, you can't expect him to make the tourney after that!"

    Kill me.
    I actually think people are starting to at least question Romar now. There are still plenty of sheep though.

    This all boils down to the fact that romar is a terrible coach and will never again make the real tournament.

    Jones had a 34.5 inch max vert at the combine. Chriss probably hits that on the standing vert. He's way more athletic than Jones. Jones was obviously more skilled as a frosh, the question is can NBA coaching get significantly more out of Chriss' raw talent? I think they will, but it might take two or three years. His ceiling is much higher than Jones'. His floor is a lot lower though.

    Nobody is questioning Chriss's ability

    The problem is that he can't stay on the court without fouling. That won't keep you on the court. That gets you down to the D League.

    What most people miss about the NBA is that what separates you is your mastering of the fundamentals. Chriss's fundamentals right now absolutely suck.

    The NBA is full of talented players ... many of them end up playing in Europe. They don't have time to babysit there ... both Murray and Chriss will need babysitting.

    Jumping ability is not the only measure of "athletic" ability. I'll pick jones with the rock in his hands facing up against another 6'10" forward any day. Terrance Ross had a 37.5 same combine
