Do you remember the old Tom Hanks' movie "Forest Gump"? One of the most famous lines from that film was "Life is like a box of chocolates. you just never know what you're going to get." Watching Terrance Jones play basketball for the Kentucky Wildcats, is much like that. From one game to the next, you just never know what you are going to get.
Terrance Jones is a great talent. At times he looks like an All American, the next time he looks like what he is, a freshmen, who is trying to find his way in the world of big time college basketball. He reminds me of a young thoroughbred colt, breath taking speed one moment, bolting to the outside rail, or throwing his rider, the next. That's Terrance Jones.
Coach Cal rides him pretty hard at times and you wonder if he can take it? Just as suddenly, that talent comes out, and he slams a in your face dunk, and Coach Cal can't remember why he was mad at him to start with. He confounds you with his immature attitude,and bravado, and you ponder what's he going to do next. One thing's for sure, this team needs him to bring it every game. Many people speculate that he needs another year to harness the great talent that he so obviously has. The NBA loves his potential, he is in the top ten in all of the mock drafts. My guess is he will probably enter the draft. Which means, we better hope he gets it together by the end of the season.
Terrance Jones is like a box of chocolates, any one you choose is good. But, when you grab one of those special pieces from the box, your mouth starts to water, a smile creases your lips, well, it's just breath taking.
