Although he had an off game today at UNC, Terrence Jones was voted as the best freshman in November by ESPN’s Eamonn Brennan. Terrence has been the best Wildcat for the entire season and deserves the honor of Freshman of Month.

[quote]When you beat Duke’s Kyrie Irving (who has seamlessly replaced and remade the Blue Devils’ point guard spot) and Jared Sullinger (whose interior offensive efficiency might win Ohio State a national title this year) you know you’re doing something right. Jones is. The Kentucky freshman gets the nod over Irving, Sullinger and a handful of other frosh for not only excelling but doing so without the help of a team full of skilled veterans surrounding him. Jones is averaging 21.2 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, and he can do it all: rebound, penetrate, finish at the rim, score from the perimeter, defend in the post. It’s entirely possible Jones is like Lamar Odom, only slightly more athletic. Yes, that’s exactly as scary as it sounds.
Others receiving votes: Kyrie Irving (Duke), Jared Sullinger (Ohio State), Tobias Harris (Tennessee), Tristan Thompson (Texas) [/quote]
We could have used more from Jones today. On the bend with 5 isn’t where we need Jones in big games. I think he’ll learn from that foul and come back in the next game with a different intensity.
