the aphrodisaic of 6-11 7ft-3 wing and 37 inch vert

[rollie mass]

only 23 yrs old after 3 yrs in nba and the allure of being able to tap into his potential.
 it will not take long to show in in pre season as players fight for a position
-last season, i got attached to dwight powell, not james and last year during his stint at red claws where i thought he outperfomed young in every category--So does perry jones 111 become a diamond in rough ,was he a young kid that took time to mature and a change of scenery--and then if he does check brads and danny's boxes -who goes

Tough to read with no punctuation, and I'm usually not one to critique.  I think PJ3 makes this team but it will come after a multiplayer trade.  I also think he becomes somewhere around the second or third off the bench behind IT.

The physical measurables are so intriguing.  For his size, he shouldn't be able to do what he can do.  Now he has to do it consistently.  Maybe the Celtics infrastructure can bring it out of him.  For sure, Stevens will do a better job than Brooks in finding his strong points and accentuating them.

Consider:
- When he was at Baylor, he could run the point in a pinch.  Why not try that here?
- He can guard ball handlers, wings, and bigs.  If you wanted WCS, this has to pique your interest.

I'm just hoping they keep him for the year and see.  And I'm hoping he can settle down and settle in and just play.

You'll learn to read rollie's posts sans punctuation - his basketball insight is definitely worthwhile imho.

With that said, who goes?  I am expecting a trade of sorts to pair down the roster some.  I like Turner's game, but I feel he is the odd man out given our point guard situation - maybe Danny will find a way to unload Turner and another guard or big for some future value...

Low risk high reward type of player, so I would be a little disappointed if he doesn't at least get an invite.

Has he did this for James Young?   Not yet.   But I think Young is trying to move it in the right direction.  So I do not think it is a given for Jones.

sorry about punctuation  recently had a,deep vein thrombosis,bi lateral pulmanary embolism ,mini stroke and what was thought to be a heart attack  all in the last couple months
. i got rushed and didn't clean that post up
 i also got vertical wrong it is 38.5 at draft express and according to an article he was measured  professionaly at baylor as high as 41.5
this young kid may force a trade or waiver or just be waived himself-
i was hoping by posting this ,there might be a follow up with more info than i was able to find on net
it is obvious he is an athletic speciman but that just complicates the enigma of his mental state and do the celts need that while developing a culture of commitment and defence

I don't think the measurables and skills are going to be the issue with PJ3, it going to be his health. It's failed him during critical times during his career.

I think his vertical/athleticism numbers are highly misleading. The kid's had quite a few knee injuries/surgeries that have clearly slowed him down. Can anyone post a highlight of him blowing by someone or a poster dunk? Looks like all of his production's been using his height to shoot over smaller defenders.

I wouldn't worry about this.

He honestly is in a pretty similar spot to Evan Turner last year. Turner is much older and got more of a chance to play on a bad team earlier in his career, but he was a very talented but mercurial player we chose to take a gamble on. If any of these guys don't want to buy in, they don't have to play.

DITTO ^^ for me.

I think his motor has been questioned at times, that may have to do with his health issues. At 23 maybe he can get past all of this. IMO he's worth a real good look. It's not like we have a set lineup, contending.

I was not aware of the physical issues with the OP, and do apologize.  Thanks for the PM informing me and I hope I didn't offend.

PJ3 is one of the guys I'm excited to see in camp as I was with turner last year as well.  He hasn't received a whole lot of minutes.  His per 36 translate out to 10/5 guy.  I know he won't get 36, but still believe hes the second or third off the bench.

[rollie mass]

tp for being a good guy
-i have made an attempt to get better but alot of posting is done from bed.Also hitting caps is difficult and tonight i'll have my son put spellcheck on the new laptop .I start alot of topics hoping for imputs and further info.I would love a sportswriter to interview perry and how he feels about boston and a new start.Mainly because i would hate to see the celts do a trade or waive another player if perry isn't going to work out.

Word of advice. If reading someone's post bothers you for a grammatical reason, close it and move on. That's what I do, thus avoiding the bashing and almost guaranteed apology later on.

If it's not related to the topic at hand, just move along. It doesn't help anyone. I almost stopped coming to this blog early on when a well respected mod kept calling out my sentence formation and grammar while I tried to make a point. I can guarantee most posters don't have an advanced degree in the English language so the critiquing is not needed.

I don't think there's anything wrong with encouraging someone to make their post more easily readable, as long as you're not mean about it.  Usually that means suggesting that somebody break their post up into multiple paragraphs.  Not saying that applies at all to this post, but that's the most common example for me.

Grammar policing, on the other hand, is obnoxious and doesn't help anything.



As for the topic at hand, I wouldn't get too invested in PJ3.  Most likely he doesn't make the team.  He's got some physical tools, but he's a beanpole tweener and those guys don't tend to make it in the NBA unless they are phenomenally talented.

A comparable talent, Christian Wood, went undrafted this year despite being talked about as a 1st round pick.
