Bobby Jones to leave Teramo?

Former NBA player Bobby Jones might leave Banca Tercas Teramo in the summer despite he has another year left on his contract with the Italian team.

The forward did not adapt to European basketball and said he will think about his future during vacations.

"The first thing I understood is that not all the American players may play in Europe: it is a kind of basketball totally different. In Europe referees allow the 'dirty play' something that in NBA doesn't happen at all" said Jones. "I have heard that a lot of Americans left because they were not able to adapt at this type of game. Having the family with them helped the Americans who decided to remain in Europe. I miss America, my family, my friends" added Jones who has played in NBA 91 games with Philadelphia, Denver, Houston, Miami, San Antonio and Memphis averaging 3.2ppg.

Jones criticized also practice, not understading why in Europe players must practice three or four days per week, twice a day. However Jones said that he is living an "extraordinary experience".

"Can I stay here another year?", asked to himself Jones. "I will think about it once at home during vacations".

Bobby Jones with Teramo averaged 12ppg in Eurocup and 10.9ppg in Serie A.
