Darren Wolfson: Let me throw out one other NBA related note, my guy, Curtis Jones, Minneapolis South High School, Cretin-Derham Hall High School, Iowa State, plus some other schools. I thought he had a good run as a rookie for the Denver Nuggets, but it sounds like Denver is not bringing him back. He's a free agent. The Boston Celtics have all sorts of interest in Curtis Jones."

If he was any good, I think the Nuggets would have retained him.  Right?

I watched some tape, I do not see a great athlete.   His three is nice, he has incredible range,  but will he be able to get it off on NBA, not g league guys?  His arch on his shot is nice.

I think he would end up in Maine, but might be worth a look there.

The Nuggets had two second round picks.  It is possible both wind up in 2-ways, so there could have been a little crunch with those spots.  But I think the ceiling for this guy in the summer is a camp offer that can convert to a 2-way.  Amari Williams has one.  Dillon Mitchell is likely getting another unless he surprisingly gets an NBA deal.  So probably there is one left, with Tonje in the lead for it.

A whole thread for a report about Curtis Jones?

Anyway, isn't he already on the Summer League roster?  Guys like him are battling for the two remaining 2-way spots.

It?s summer, and at least I am desperate to stop talking about the trade.  Looking forward to seeing Chris Cenac Jr. play in a couple of days.

Over Tonje, do you think?

No, I meant that is what he would be considered for.  It is possible he could get one over Tonje, but I was just saying he is not someone for the Boston roster, which the original gushing post of the Celtics having all sorts of interest may have led some people to believe.

This guy stinks.  I am embarrassed to have wasted multiple posts on him.

After watching him play in summer league, I have yet to see one viable NBA talent he possesses.  His basketball IQ is very low.

He is a G league level guy and should never get a two way or the like.

I think it is highly improbable, his play has been horrible.  Uzan has out played him every game.  Tonje has out played him.  Evidentially, he was hot last summer league and not this year.
