Good point, the finger injury was definitely a factor. I remember watching Jones early this season, and I was convinced that he would be unstoppable this year. He looked great in the early going, but seemed to revert back to bad habits. If he gets back to the way he WAS playing with the passion that he displayed earlier this year, I agree with you… watch out!

But you also failed to mention that following the Indiana game, Jones injured his finger on his shooting hand and of course didn’t have much offensive production. Jones is now getting back into his old rhythm. Come tournament time, you’re going to see an absolute monster (granted there are no more injuries). Once Jones gets back to firing on all cylinders, MKG and Davis continue to leave it all on the court, and Teague begins to communicate more efficiently and stay under control, I truly believe that our team is going to make one heck of a run for the national title.

In reply to Christel Atkinson.

My intention wasn’t to attack Jones personally… he seems like a great guy as far as I can tell. You absolutely should support him. However, his lack of rebounding are a cause for concern for Kentucky. Jones is behind Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Eloy Vargas in both offensive and defensive rebounding percentages. With Jones’ size, talent and skill level, that suggests to me it is an effort issue. That will come back to bite Kentucky in SEC play if its 6’9″ power forward is getting out-hustled and over-powered on the boards. You want awesome? Kidd-Gilchrist and Davis are awesome. They give 100% every time out on the court. I think I would just like to see that sort of passion from Jones, but I don’t sense that from him.

GET A GRIP!! The BBN is behind Terrence Jones 100%! We are extremely happy that he came back for a second year and most of us wouldn’t be upset if he stayed a third or even fourth season! The BBN is not at all upset nor disappointed with him! LEAVE HIM ALONE FOR PETE’S SAKE! Terrence you are AWESOME!!!
