- Today’s feature was once in line to be the next Kevin Durant. Some even called him a stronger Tracy McGrady l. Two comparisons that wouldn’t last very long after leaving high school as a top 10 prospect. When projecting players 3 things I usually ask myself and notice instantly about a prospect is how does he stack up physically among his peers right now, what skills has he developed to this point that makes him elite at his level, and what strengths does he have now that can translate if he were at the highest level right now. Key word, now. We tend to forget about that looking too far into a prospect’s career, not realizing that missing any of those things gives him the chance to be a bust in the NBA. Perry Jones was elite and garnered a lot of attention at the high school level because physically he was already levels ahead of his peers. He went on to Baylor and had a calm 2 years before becoming the 28th pick by the OKC Thunder. What Happened after that? Perry Jones Was Supposed To Be The Next McGrady? Stunted Growth

Had all the tools. Great example it takes so much more. Mainly the right circumstance at the right time. Talent and physical gifts are just a part of it.
Similar skillset to Donte Green, tall forwards with no natural positions.
Perry Jones gave me Earl Clark vibes but Perry Jones seemed like he would've had a higher ceiling. How about Vernon Maxwell stunted growth or Micheal Finley?
@@carlwallace1129 Michael Finley was a favorite player of mine.
@@highlightboy23 Finley was 1 of my favorite wing players too he had that pattenant sweet pull jumper and he would back door or go hard in the lane Poster dunk on anyone. Prime Penny ,Finley and and VanExel were 3 out of my 5 favorites from the 90s.
@@carlwallace1129 Dirk Nowitzki was his only growth stunt. Dude was a great but not HOF player.
Xavier Henry
I think he did him already
I remember months ago asking for Henry and Selby since they were together at KU.
Yo lmao I HATED playing against him in 2k , certified bucket I forgot which year
He already did him
Has he done P.J. Dozier
He was stunted in real life but Man on 2k11 and 2k12 this man was an absolute MENACE!
2k12 i used him as my 6th man. played him at the 4 in crunch time, out and running with OKC
And Anthony randolph
how was he good on 2k11 when his rookie year was 2012/13?
@@bigh92591 i most likely got my years mixed up. Been a LONG time since that game came out
This guy hit the nastiest game winning three right on my player’s head top
I remember he dropped 32 in first game of the season when KD was injured. I thought he would’ve built on that
This is what Im talking sbout. Lets get back to some real stunted growth stories!!!
You should do one on James Young from Kentucky
It would’ve been fun to see OKC with Russ, Harden, Durant, Perry and Ibaka. They really screwed themselves by having Perkins at 10mil
🤯 they gave him that much!
They needed a big to make LeBron and Wade change their mind mid air. Perkins at that time was that type of big who made guys miss layups because of his size avoiding to get shot block.
They got rid of Harden in the same offseason they got Perry
Please do one on Marcus Mann. He was drafted by Golden State in 96. He was the Swac player of the year and NCAA rebound leader in 96. He went to MS Valley. He quit GS a day before his first game and left to become a preacher. He's from my area. Basketball legend that made it and quit.
Hell yeah definitely heard of him before my mama went to alcorn
@Bestonejb my brother went to Alcorn. I watched Marcus play when he was in high school. Beast!!!
I know Marcus. He’s a pastor in Carthage, Ms. We’re frat brothers, he’s a good dude!
I remember this dude. High ceiling, lots of potential.
Give us Joe Alexander, please!!!
Definitely would like to see a breakdown on Joe.
Always considered Joe a poor man Keith Van Horn… I’d love to see a video on Joe
Him and lacedarius Dunn he’s high school legend here in Monroe Louisiana played at Baylor with perry jones
The league is tough. Reminds of a bunch of other guys. Not sure if you did this one or not, but if you remember C.J. Leslie, he's another guy that was projected NBA 1st round by some mock drafts in 2013. Ended up going undrafted out of NC State from that 2013 team with my guy Ryan Harrow and Lorenzo Brown. Flamed out shortly afterwards. Dominic Artis comes to mind too. Got caught up in some mess during his time at Oregon and never really got back on track.
One thing i learned about the NBA is you need to find your role within the team. He may not have been the next “go to” guy but he could’ve honed his skills as a 3 and D big.
A lot of young prospects with natural athletic gifts get pressured to be the next _____ and if they’re not they’re considered a “bust”
I.e Andrew Wiggins, Perry Jones, Dennis Smith jr etc
Andrew was never a bust he just needed out of Minnesota. Only KG was able to make that sorry team look respectful for years.
@@andrebryant5081 he wasnt a “bust” but everybody thought he’d be a first option guy but he’s better as the second or third option
Imo jones’ biggest hurdle definitely seems to be his confidence. He clearly had the natural athleticism and size but not the coordination and in game iq that other top tier players in his age group had. Imo that probably became evident in college and the league. He also never developed a consistent 3pt shot nor was a good enough defender to be a reliable 3 and D option. Just goes to show that being tall and athletic won’t always guarantee success in the pros
@@ramboslice7322 it was definitely more mental than physical with perry combined with the lack of a defined skillset on the permitter
@@RainSupreme Besides Andrew Wiggins first year he was never the first option. After KAT was drafted the system ran through what makes KAT his best version of himself.
Did you do a video on Daequan Cook from Ohio State?
Jason Thompson or Chris Wilcox next!
Chris Wilcox for sure
I cant imagine KD being a willing mentor for a rookie that plays the same position as him, especially back in 2010. KD seems too coldblooded to take anyone under his wing in any capacity.
Yes KD was like 24 he wasn't going to mentor someone who could max out taking his spot.
He had lots of potential shout-out stunted growth ❤
Xavia Henry, Nikola Mirotic, Sam Young, Quincy Acy, Gary Neal,
Is anyone else on a stunted growth binge???
Make one on Chris Duhon!
Funny thing about Duhon is that his growth got stunted during college, not the NBA. He was a SUPER high recruit, a starter on Duke's 2001 title team, then never reached the potential he was supposed to...BUT he still got drafted in the second round and had a very solid like 11 year career in the NBA as a backup, spot starter. So, I'm not sure if his growth was ultimately stunted, given he had a long, fairly productive NBA career.
Thank you doing a new vid on Perry Jones - dude was solid!!!
Went to Baylor basketball camp when he was on the team and got his signature. I was certain that it’d be worth some money some day…
Been subbed for a minute, but been watching your videos as of late. Keep up the work!
Just found your channel and line your videos! Binge watching all night!
💯
Back then i thought the same thing, that being kd backup would be the best thing, your videos always give a new perspective and now looking at the league, you are absolutely right, throw them in the fire
Nah that was the worse thing being KD backup means you don't play enough
We need a tyler ulis story G
Been waiting on this one!
The episode I was looking for. I always loved Perry game
This 🥷 don’t miss 🙏🏽
I loved watching Baylor guys like him and Quincy Miller. Guys like them and Mitch McGary really blew my mind how they never panned out, but it kind od makes sense looking back.
All due respect Mitch Mcgary seems like your prototypical "maxed out in college" kind of player
I thought Quincy Miller was going to be him Forsure
Tauren prince great player and loved Quincy acy
90s Lamont Murray,, good player no one talks about, 6'6 athletic, can shoot, beautiful jump shot.
Please please do Pierre Jackson from Baylor & ace law
Perry Jones & Quincy Miller are two of Baylors biggest busts smh these dudes should've gotten CRAZY bags in the NBA.
Definitely ahead of his time if he was a prospect this era his would’ve been a lottery role player
He was supposed to be a lottery pick during his era but didn't do enough in college
@@andrebryant5081 yeah after I watched the vid I agree but it’s crazy what happened to him in college
He seemed like a humble guy. A good kid
Boy, ya read my mind. I was just thinking about this earlier today.
I really thought Perry Jones was gone learn and grow from KD... But that's what expectations do for ya 🤷🏾♂️
If Ibaka wasn't there yea
I hope the Knick Scouts are watching him play Overseas right now. He's Healthy and playing well.
Do Byron Houston.
A lot may not know him, but he was a Barkley Type for
Ok State
I remember him!
I remember when he led them to the Final Four
@@juanspears5567. He was a load!!!
Do one on William Buford bro was a bucket at Ohio State but I never saw headlines on him going to the NBA
I remember dude and that's exactly what they said T Mac. Little did we know was that the new T Mac was in the league already - Paul George.
Perry Jones, Quincy Miller, Isiah Austin..all Baylor bigmen i ess big on that didn't pan out
With all due respect, Austin had the eye 👁 injury along with a bone condition. His body betrayed him.
Isiah Austin was gonna be the truth , he was similar to AD imo but his disease and eye held him back
I think a different college in texas would've been better for him. He went to Baylor at a time when they had multiple guys who were the same height and interchangable. Playing on a "positionless", athletic team at that time wasn't good for his development.They played like an AAU stacked team. the only position they needed solidified was PG. He needed to be on a team where he could dominate the wing/one-side of the court by himself. Maybe Texas or Texas Tech would've gave him that space. Then his mid-range and driving to the basketabll would've been better coming into the NBA. My Pistons would've been a great spot for a developing wing player at that time.
Spot on
Baylor was the raptors before the raptors lowkey
Very well said...but didn't they have Pierre Jackson? I guess he's more of a 2 than a 1...he's just a 2 in a point guard's body.
I forgot about this dude. I had high hopes for him.
I remember when my OKC team drafted Perry Jones. He would've been better suited playing with Kings or Hornets to be honest.
You gotta profile Derrick Williams from Arizona next. I thought he'd be a beast at the next level.
We all did , we thought he would be what Michael Beasley was suppose to be , but both of them let us down
Yes. Everyone thought he would become a monster
Well spoken about Perry Jones. If you ever get around to it, could you please do Reece Gaines . He played at University of Louisville. He was drafted 15th pick in the LeBron James draft 2003. He was the player that gave Dewayne Wade fits at Marquette. I remember when he was asked a question, about who was his biggest matchup in college. It was Reece Gaines. You can see they took different paths in the NBA. Reece couldn't get it together playing under DOC Rivers at Orlando. I appreciate you reading this, if you get to read it. I understand your a busy person. Thanks .... Jermaine
Oh Man, Reece Gaines is a good one! Legit 6'6" point guard who was really good at Louisville and just couldn't do it in the league. I definitely thought he was going to be a productiveNBA player and he just wasn't.
many times that all around game n not having 1 true position stunts ur growth because in the nba u have to have a true position initially so that u could dominate there n then be used in other positions to show how flexible u r..but when ur good at a lot of things but great at nothing u can be outshined by people who take there position much more seriously
Stanley Robinson/ex UConn player. Passed a few years ago. He battled mental health and drug issues .
Yooo you gatta do Ricky Berry from San Jose State and Sacramento Kings
His career reminds me of an alternate version of Kevon Looney. If Kevon hadn't made it transforming into the hustle guy he is now
Jason Thompson was a monstar
Byron Eaton, Richard Hendrix, JP Prince, Eric Devendorf
Dude was monster on 2k
Athletic can shoot and lockdown
It’s wild like I can’t trace blame on liqour or any bad habits but it’s kinda just mental at that level (only assuming)
I been requested this one on IG bruh, you said you did this one already smh 🤦🏽♂️
Do one on Dante Exum next
Bro! Do a video on Joe Jackson! He was ranked 21 in this same class!
can you do kawhi leonard? he wont reach his full potential due to injuries
He was already featured here as a Growth Spurt but he could make a case as a Stunted Growth.
czcams.com/video/I7XJsDXgCfo/video.html
Can you do one on:
Harry Giles
JamesOn Curry
Archie Goodwin
Shavlik Randolph
Dontonio Wingfield
DeMarr Johnson
Did one on JamesOn Curry, Archie Goodwin and Harry Giles
Duncanville, TX!!!!!
Damn I forgot about him but he was a bucket for okc
You should do LeBryan Nash
Can we get one on Rodney Stuckey?
need a corey brewer one
Can you do a segment on TJ Warren..
Do one on Derrick Griffin III
Shabazz Mohammed
Already did him
Love this channel. I know every player ever. If you need a name I can shoot some out
Played against him last summer. I think he's in China now!!!! Can u do one on Lebryan Nash
He was NEVER compared to T-Mac. He was compared to Tyrus Thomas. And he wasn't selected to be Durant's back-up. He was selected because he reminded OKC of Jeff Green who they traded away.
Hated playing against him on 2k
Sometimes I just don’t get the reasoning behind some of these GMs decision , u draft a SF to be a benchwarmer to KD that’s like a waste of a pick and u only get 2
Facts they should have drafted a big who could learn from Kendrick Perkins how to play the role as a defensive big.
I think they eventually wanted to play him at the 4 because they didnt have Adams yet , Perkins was never gonna be apart of the long term plan , i think they wanted Russ , Lamb, KD, PJ3, Ibaka lineup but Perry never panned out and they got Adams a year later also
perry jones, lebryan nash, and renardo sydney looked like locks to be nba allstars coming out of HS to me. a bad attitude can kill a good future
I remember that draft If he got drafted to the heat I think he would have been better but okc was too thirty
Qyntel Woods next please
I'm not gonna lie I thought he was gonna be special he was fun to play as in 2k too
I always thought he even looks like T-Mac 😂
Do Anthony Randolph next
Do one on Jimmy snap hunter he played at memphis
I played with him on 2k to he was off the game used to boost his ability
Cliff Alexander is a good one too!
Can u do Russ Smith
Man i Used to draft him in nba 2k err single time. Lol like a steal
5:09. There was a smaller version of him
All these guys should study James Posey Andre Igouldala Shane Battier Robert Horry Tayshun Prince Shaun Livingston
Defend hit a 3 rebound and once in a while you will get scoring explosion consistently on good teams and impact winning
gotta do Josh Shelby
Have you done Shawne Williams yet
I remember they had this dude projected to be the #1 pick in the draft. I have never seen someone's draft stock nosedive like that.
Do TJ Ford
In celebration of the Heat making the finals, Norris Cole next!
Do Khalid el amin if you haven’t already
Still think that OKC situation wasn’t bad for him. He wasn’t really a small forward, more of a 4. But lineups with him, KD and Ibaka would have been gnarly. He was never the type of player to break people down off the dribble without an advantage
Another banger from #StuntedGrowth
Road to 100k subs
Do a Stunted growth on Tony Delk
Do Dwight buckys
7:53 I totally disagree, I loved Perry Jones game. He wasn’t meant to be a scorer he could’ve been a starter PF. Thunder we’re starting freakin Perkins at Center. If Perry Jones bought into being a glue guy he could’ve gotten solid PT like a Morris twin.
Do James Posey
I hooped with bro at 24 hr fitness omce in Dallas. He didnt look 6'11
Leon Smith.. Chicago … next KG… dated Cappie Pondexter, don’t know if you’ve done one on him yet ..
Do Lonzo Ball
Steve Logan Cincinnati #2 all time leading scorer behind Oscar Robertson
Stunted Growth options- Keith Brumbaugh, Renardo Sidney, BJ Mullens, Taylor King,
