Some players are all about their present ability and performance. Then, there are players that bring that “what if” factor to the table - JaCoby Jones is a “what if” player if there ever was one. And, of course that’s both a negative and very positive thing. Jones, who was named a PG/Aflac All-American in 2009, entered the spring of 2012 for LSU as one of the most highly touted sophomores in the country, and to make a long story short it just never came together for him. He left scouts scratching their heads and wondering when this supremely talented player would eventually translate into live game action.

The truth is we’re not going to know that answer for at least another five years or so but there are strengths to this class particularly at the top of the draft.
