Perry “I’m actually the fourth but who’s counting” Jones III has ended the year on a high note, averaging 14 points a game over his last one. If he can keep up this performance during the playoffs the Thunder will be tough to beat.
He is also a reminder of how over-enthusiastic fans get over their team’s draft picks. Thunder fans were talking about what a steal this guy was, how good of a player he was going to be, sucking off their GM over another successful draft. But there’s a reason this guy was picked at the end of the first round. Yeah, he has potential or whatever, but so does everyone else. Except Miles Plumlee.
