PJ 3 looks like he "could" develop into a Kevin Durant like player. But I've heard he has work ethic issues and will probably never develop the handle or shot Durant developed.
PJ 3 will probably end up being Marvin Williams....
I'm beginning to like Marshall... What about T jones from KU? Dude reminds me of Lamar Odom.
Just look! He's even left handed. Look at the handles and shot he has. Lamar Odom baby....

Hayward, T Jones, Favors, and Kanter would be one tough team to score against. They should also dominate the boards. Jones actually has a shot so he should be able to keep the defenses honest. Unlike Lamar and PJ3, T Jones has a good motor

T jones has on ok motor. There are times like pj3 that he coasts. He doesn't disappear as much as pj3 but pj3 has more talent. I said way back when that t jones was a lot like odom. With a 2 pick draft one of the picks should be a swing for the fences.
I am still hoping that Barnes some how falls to 8 and we get him.
If you've watched equal amounts of PJIII and Miller this season, and you think Miller has as much potential as Jones then I'm of the opinion that you're crazy. I know my dude PKM thinks Miller has elite potential but I'm seeing a spot up shooter that doesn't even do that all that well. Athletically PJIII is MILES ahead of Miller (queue the "bu bu bu but buttttt, he's still injured"). PJ's ceiling is peak NBA, Miller's isn't...............................................................................IMO.

I think that's all fair. While I think Miller is more athletic than he's showing (due to injury) he's still not all that athletic...all you have to do is go back and watch his high school highlights to see that. I'd take PJ3 over Miller, as well, at this point. Like you said, he has a higher ceiling, and is probably less of risk (though still risky).
Not totally sure where I stand on the Jones vs Jones debate...I'll have to think about it a lot more. I think it's closer than most will admit.
I honestly couldn't tell you who I would either. Are you a gambler? TJones is the safe bet and PJ is the potential homerun and potential strikeout looking.

I see Jones having an NBA career like Aminu, Swift, Wright, Terrence Williams, etc. That's for the most part a bust.
Quite possibly.
That's why this isn't an exact science. It's also a "gamble" to make the safe pick as a GM, letting someone else take the talented kid that has question marks.
Hey, I'm still saying if there was a gun to my head I wouldn't know who to pick between PJ and TJ. I'm taking either over Miller though, all day.
