just to copy all the other "official" threads i thought i might start one of my hometown hero Duke basketball player Dahntay Jones from Hamilton not Trenton, NJ. He looks to be a 2nd secound draft pick most likely to either the wizards or the bulls. I would like to see drafted to a worse team because then he will get to play more. I will update this when i get new info

Didn't he play linebacker for Michigan a few years ago, and now with the Giants.

well, this is a first....the first official thread dedicated solely to a player.

Keep up the good work -- not sure how often he's going to make news, vs., say, someone like Lebron

No, that's Dhani Jones. Dahntay Jones used to play for Rutgers but transferred to Duke.

Tim

yeah and had a monster dunk against UVA this year, DOTY, dunk of the year

yeah this is the dahntay jones who played for Duke after transferring from Rutgers. He had some monster dunks like that one vs UVA like you said. Too bad he didnt win the college slam dunk contest though, he messed up on his dunk in the finals.
Update: Jones should move up a few picks because of the withdrawal of lottery pick pavel podklozine as well as borderline 1st rounders and high second rounders jameer nelson, chris thomas, erazem lorbek and charlie villanueva. I think he could go as high as 33 or 34 but most nba draft sites with mock drafts have him goin between 36-41

Not much to report or updat, the draft is 4 days away and jones is looking like a mid-2nd rounder.

who do you think he will fit well with?

i think chicago would be a good fit because even though they have Jalen Rose and Jamal Crawford at the guard spots, with Jwill out , dahntay would get alot of playing time at the 2 and 3 positions

I will be moving this up into the forum where all the official threads are located

Dahntay just got drafted in the first round at 20th overall to the Boston Celtics!!!!!!! Thats a 3 year contract and lots of jersey and auto cards! This is a great day!

Ok Dahntay just got traded with Troy Bell to the Memphis Grizziles for Kendrick Perkins and Marcus Banks. Thats fine with me because the Grizz are turning the corner with players like Bell , Jones, Pau Gasol, Mike Miller, Shnae Battier and Jason Williams. Dahntay should see some playing time becuse he wont be behind pierce and walker in boston. The Grizz are now my favorite team.

ok havent updated in while but dahntay signed a 3 year deal with the Grizz for 2.85 mil with a club option for a 4th year

i hope he turns out to be pretty good...he was pretty interesting to watch when he played at duke

no updates as of now, august 5
