Not sure what you're disagreeing with.  I acknowledged that Jones is an 
all-star.  I didn't say Fox is better, just that his stats compare 
favorably with Jones' numbers.  They are close in their per game averages 
on points, rebounds, assists and steals; they are about the same height; 
and Jones is a 2 who can play the 3, while Fox is a 3 who sometimes 
plays the 2.  Therefore, in my mind, they are similar.
