Agree, despite his TOs, he's the go to guy that actually finishes.

I think you get what you can get between Walton and JQ. Both streaky. As crazy as it sounds Malco and Tomlin would be my #2/3. But at the end of the game I want it it Jones hands.

All day long.

I don’t know why anyone would think otherwise. Just has to take care of the ball.

No Lies Detected.

JQ hit a big one too after being ofer

Took you 22 games to figure that out?????

With those 4 games in the win column Tigers would be 20-2 and the best record in D-1. Unless Houston pulled their game out today. But if a
frog had wings he wouldn't bump his azz right?

No but there were plenty of folks on social media and local sports radio this week talking about how he was one of the problems..

The two are not mutually exclusive.

One could be our only true offensive weapon and still have a net negative impact on the team.

Scoring is just one part of the game.

If only Malco could hit free throws. I’d prefer Nae Qwan play closer to the basket.

what is interesting is that he quietly is:

1) Leader in rebounds - is all heart and desire
2) Leader in steals - hustling on defense
3) Leader (non guard) in assist - .2 from being tied with second place
4) Leader in scoring

Exactly. I posted something very similar in a different thread. He leads the team in several categories, to act like he is just a scorer is a gross understatement of what all he brings to this team.

I do not pretend to know the inner workings of this team. But I have seen several times where someone comes in and puts in the work and others come in entitled and expect certain things to be handed to them. And when someone like Jones who appears to be putting in the work stands up and tells the entitled player(s) they need to step and up earn what is theirs then it causes problems. And while it could be Jones being vocal and refusing to bow down so it appears he is causing problems it is really the refusal and lack of work ethic of others is the problem.

There's no arguing that he is the team MVP.

Without him we would likely be 500 or below.

But just as with Davis and Bates in previous years he has caused some unrest in locker room.

He may well have. But I could also see Malco as being a bit of a locker room problem, too. It seems like he is trying to be a leader, but not really getting the results.

Now, I do not know what is going on in the locker room. I have no inside information at all.

This is mho, based simply on watching the players on the court, at time outs, and what we all read in the newspapers (social media stuff is almost all unsubstantiated, so I do not give it any credibility. And I do not have a problem with Malco trying to lead, just seems the others are not following him.

Perhaps. But my point is that not all unrest is made equal...

Michael Jordan created unrest in his locker room because he was constantly pushing people to be their best and 6 titles were won

Kobe created unrest for the same reason but championships were won.

Shaq created unrest in the locker room because he could not stand Penny and Kobe taking away some of his spotlight and he blew two teams up that had the potential for multiple titles.

Bates created unrest because he expected the team to all defer to him on day one and that was not a reality

I have a feeling Jones' unrest is more along the lines of pushing certain players to be a better version of themselves instead of just letting them waltz around as they please and deferring to them. I can live with that as opposed to the unrest Bates caused.

Result of bringing in a boatload of Alpha personalities and no one wanting to accept Omega status.

This is the most difficult type of group to control and it takes an ultra Alpha disciplinarian to control it.
