Terrence Jones only played in 19 games last year as a first round pick for the Rockets. While that team didn’t really have a shortage of power forwards, they did have a shortage of what could be called “starter-quality” power forwards. But still, Jones couldn’t get any minutes.
This year’s Rockets team is presumably better than last year’s iteration. But the power forward shortage has become even more pronounced so guess who gets to start! Terrence Jones! I’m excited. You’re excited. We all so excited.
The excitement in Houston will only grow as Jones just smashed his previous career high by 10 points. They now have a legit big to put next to Dwight. He can even space the floor a little bit. Their roster now has no holes. They are stacked 1-5. Do I smell a championship?
No, wait, sorry. False alarm. That’s only my Totino’s pizza rolls that just finished up. Jealous?
