Jones sees positives in Sixers

Former Sixer Bobby Jones doesn’t get to see that much of the Sixers these days.

The former sixth man lives in Charlotte and is an assistant coach at a public high school, and the Sixers aren’t on national television much for apparent reasons.

Still, Jones likes what he sees.

“I think they’ve got a lot of potential,” he said. “They’re young, they’re teachable and they’ve got a good teacher. I think they’ve proved they’re good athletes: now they’ve got to work at making themselves understand the game and make it easier for their teammates to get scoring opportunities, defend and transition. There’s a lot of upside here.”

Jones was a good guy. Really, I think guys like him are scarce in the league. Can you name a dozen guys in the whole league like him?

Still, times are different. Unless we move forward we're always be disappointed. Current players do have a lot to offer. Keep the past alive but enjoy the present. Sixers rule!
