That's a false equivalency.
Just because some other high end defenceman didn't reach his ceiling doesn't mean Jones can't.
Nothing like Jones has come up yet. He doesn't really have a comparable. Incredibly athletic and a huge defenceman with both finesse and power.
With that said, I wont be upset if the Flames pass on him, I just think he's been given short shrift.
