Brooklyn Nets Free Agency Primer: Power Forwards

By Ryan Carbain & Zach Fisch Posted on April 28, 2016

Terrence Jones -- Restricted Free Agent The skinny: An oft-injured enigma, Jones at times looks like the embodiment of a modern power forward. Moments later, he looks like an absolute mess. Jones is promising, and he’s young, but he’s coming off an off-year where nearly all his stats dipped. He’s a little undersized, but he’s quick, can hit the boards, and shows glimpses of a three-pointer. Despite the promise, his most memorable NBA moment was the sullen look displayed as James Harden scored a game-winner against the Warriors to extend a playoff series that looked like a certain sweep. For whatever reason, he’s just yet to put it all together. Jones a fit? I think so. I am sure there are some who see much more promise in Jones than they do in McCullough. He has displayed in flashes all the skills you’d want to see around Lopez. He’s also young, and to a rebuilding team like The Nets, that matters. Worthy pursuit? The Nets do not have a need at this position, but Jones is interesting. And while it’s not “Crying Jordan,” there is some serious meme potential in Jones’ “Why’d you have to hit that?” face. It comes down to price. His stock is down at the moment, and a bargain is a bargain, whether you need it or not. If I’m Marks, I’d kick the tires on Jones if league interest wanes. -Ryan Carbain
