This, although I don't see Jones being a successful NBA player, so who knows, but he seems to have an ego about him so I would expect him to think that he's ready.

Was just about to post this. Makes me sad, but he's ready. I really don't think he can improve his game much by coming back. The talent is all there. He just needs to develop a more aggressive mentality. Hope he does well and I'll be following his career closely just like every other Husky in the NBA.

Now we await the decision of Tony Wroten ... who really, REALLY should come back.

See i think TJones will thrive in the NBA game.
He will be alot better in a more open up and down game.

Eh, he just seems WAY too inconsistent from what I've seen of him. I feel like he's gonna struggle to find his place in the NBA (not literally finding a place, but finding his niche).

If every player that was inconsistant in college didnt get drafted there wouldnt be a NBA.
The guy has all the tools and will find his niche in the NBA.

I hope he doesn't come out so he can stay and work on that jumper of his and cut down on his turnovers.

If he goes then we may have to just put him in the "Josh Shelby, Javris Crittenton" category.

Agreed. He's undeniably talented, but he's also got lots to work on. Getting even a below average-average jumper would be a huge improvement. I was watching the team warmup for the NIT game against Oregon. In warmups, most players are usually hitting everything. Wroten literally airballed 4 or 5 shots. Missed most of his jumpers. Maybe he was just off that day or wasn't focusing, but I thought that was pretty telling. He's also gotta work on staying focused on defense. He lets guys by him and tries to jab at the ball from behind way too often. He's got the athleticism and length to keep his guy in front of him and be a real menace on D ... he just has to focus better.

If he comes back and can improve on just a few key areas, he could be an All-American.
