    It how you interpret the poll. How do measure "Potential" w/o results?
    Jones average 5.6 ppg and 3.4 rpg during regular season. He one player I can easily see doubling his production in the playoffs and actually posting better TS%.

    Harden not going double his stat in playoffs. I actually will be surprise if maintain same efficiency in playoff. Very all-stars actually improve their stat in playoffs. MJ and Hakeem are some of the select few that have.

    It's got to be Lin if he has the right match up. Which if its the Spurs it will be very good (offenisively at least). Lin has proved he's more of a clutch player than a regular great stat guy. I'd rather have the regular great stat guy, but if Daryl hands us clutch players i'm rooting for clutch players.

    Most of us have PhDs here. Some of us even know how to place a question mark at the end of a question. :p

    IMO, you always pick the guy with the most physical tools to have the most upside.

    No idea why people would pick Harden, Parsons or Lin, they will only get marginally better from here on out.

    Going on pure speculation, I'd vote for Jones. Sure, a lot of those players are already at a high level and will continue improving their skills, but those improvements will be marginal and linear. I think Jones has shown flashes of athleticism and raw energy that make me think he can make leaps in improvement.
