The development of a team is inseparable from the young players. After the Rocket lost Haden, they also started to cultivate young players. In November last year, they signed Mason Jones. Jones comes from the University of Arkansas, and the dual energy is a quite excellent score. During the university, he scored more than 22 points, and after entering NBA, he won 24 points in the game of the stab, and the score ability is unquestionable. But today, he was officially cut by the rocket.
Rockets have always been high in the requirements of the role player, not only to take a good projection, but also guard against defense. In Jones, we didn’t see any attitude and ability to have any excellent defenders.
Of course, Jones is still very young, even if he gave up by the Rocket, he didn’t even get the opportunity of the game. Just slowly grind your own technology, wait for the opportunity to return to the NBA. However, the big premise is that he must change his mentality, a young player who has just entered the alliance, actually self-evident, the strongest player of this year, this is the disrespect for other players, but also over overspeed their strength. This overestimation is easy to bring unnecessary trouble.
Looking at the recent rookie, all successful players have a low-key and humility, such as 2018 Dong Chickens. In 2019, the Yandian Si William, who didn’t have this kind of arrogant, more low-key, patience to grind their own technology. So, this is to warn other young players, less arrogant, more humility, so that I can make myself progress.
That is very interesting, when Jones just signed by the Rocket, he updated the twice: “The Rocket has just got the strongest player in this new show, in the most suitable time …”
Don’t talk about Jones’s ability, in him, we can’t say that this is confident or arrogant. At least he is still quite grasped on his ability. As a player who has no NBA draft experience, you can join a more powerful team, behind you will have to pay a lot. But Jones is too over overspeed, which is also a very short-term disease: the high hand is low.
This season, Jones farm was 11 minutes, and it was able to maintain some firepower in 5.5 points 2 rebound 1.3 assists. Especially his three-point projection, with a hit rate of more than 36%, nearly 1 in each hit. Taking into account his play time, Jones has a probability to become an excellent pitcher. But his problems are also very obvious.
First of all, he is a player who is playing too self-self. He likes to sing in the university, and the number of games is less than 4. Because he is a large number of players, this data is not good. In the NBA, as a character player, if a lot of singles must not find the teammates and coaches, Jones ignores this.
Secondly, Jones’s defensive, as a guard player, Jones’s height is 1 meter 96, with a weight of 91 kg. At first glance, it is a good configuration, but he did not make full use of his body and opponent confrontation.
22 games played this season, Jones did not send a cap. The number of steals steals is only 0.3 times, and does not say his defensive ability. At least from these two data we can see that Jones’s defensive attitude is not very positive. He doesn’t like to participate in the defense.
