Who wants to be a Bobby Jones? Harvey Perry's Contestant Application

I'll admit I know knew very little about this player. He was supposed to be good last year but he hurt his back early and decided to red shirt. I remember him consider giving up his red shirt at the end of last year after he got healthy, but he chose not to. That's about all I had this morning. But I'm resourceful. I have researching skills (AKA time to kill AKA work to avoid AKA go fuck yourself, don't judge me, why are you so special? Um... Awkward).

Harvey was part of the 2005 recruiting class that ranked 16th in the nation and was ranked as the 87th best prospect in the country by rivals.com. Romar said this about him as an incoming player: "Harvey is multi-dimensional. He is talented and he could guard probably four positions, the one through the four." That sounds like a certain senior drafted by the Sixers...

But that can't be, because everyone from USA Today to the Seattle Times have annointed Quincy Pondexter as the "Next Bobby Jones (but less awkward looking)". I'm tired of this. First it's Perry, then it's Pondexter, now, I don't know anymore. Will the real "Next Bobby Jones" please stand up? I've heard that Perry is our best on the ball defender, and is quicker than anyone in the universe. This article in today's PI describes him hoping around on the court on D in a similar way to the way BJones used to just as he picked up his third foul. I will say this, Joel Smith better bring it when he comes back because he has some serious competition for PT on the wing. Perry showed a nice touch from the outside in the open scrimmage at Husky Hoopla, which means less than nothing, but if he can be the M2GwcDaS , well, he'll probably get to play a lot.
