2014-15 Breakout Player: Terrence Jones

Word: The Houston Rockets are going to need Jones to be consistently good during the 2014-15 NBA season, if they’re going to have any chance at contending in the Western Conference. And towards the end of last season, Jones was beginning to showcase that by averaging 14.9 points and 6.6 rebounds per game in the month of April.
