Terrence Jones and Terrence Ross both attended Portland’s Jefferson high school. Jones is a star at kentucky and Ross is a star at Washington. Both Oregon boys are projected to be drafted in the top 8 of the of the 2012 NBA draft by NBAdraft.net.
I watched Terrence Jones play a few times in high school but never got to see Ross play as he transferred from Jefferson. Jones’ Jefferson Democrats beat Mountain View in a very close Class 5A state championship game game in 2009.
UConn is projected to have the top two picks in the draft with Andre Drummond and Jeremy Lamb.
