During his final year in high school, Perry Jones III was a top 10, five-star recruit as well as a McDonald’s All-American. After playing two years for Baylor, he was projected to be a lottery pick, but dropped to the late first-round due to concerns over knee issues.
We’ve heard of these knee issues, but they never seemed to hold him back in the NBA. What held him back, rather, was a lack of playing time as well as personal issues. In terms of health, he meets and even exceeds the NBA averages according to his trainers. The Brooklyn Nets now have the perfect opportunity to make a new addition to their roster.
