Josh Jackson traded for peanuts

[Celtics4ever]

He just had some legal troubles.

It's kind of funny, but Tatum is the only one of the top 4 from his draft that hasn't had his career look like a joke so far.

That might be a little harsh as to Ball.  Ball's issues are mostly related to injuries

and of the top four players from that draft, tatum is the only one still with the team that drafted him.

ainge did well. he got the best player at #3 and an asset to boot by trading and drafting well.

[TheSundanceKid]

remember when people here wanted him instead of tatum

he is more explosive, versatile defender and a good passer

the jump shot was a concern and it looks like, its still the same

his body still looks the same also

If he was more dedicated and didn't get himself involved in offcourt issues.... ton of potential

maybe this is a wakeup call. But odds are, he will be out of the league after his rookie deal is finished

This is the trap Triboy! You can't evaluate a player only based on physical tools. In fact, it is easy to argue that physical tools are among the least important attribute for the average NBA player

I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Phoenix isnt exactly the best place to develop young players.

There are lots of headcase youngsters who still have some successful careers. Spreewell, Zbo and Sheed comes to mind.

This is a great trade for Memphis. Jackson fit their grit and grind culture. The question is whether he buys into their team philosophy.

He was my binkie going into the draft. Man I got that wrong. Thought he’d be a great Celtic.

Hahaha it happens, I never really liked the kid, seemed like an athlete that didn't know how to play basketball but what do I know? Hard to predict college kids even pro scouts mess it up and they get paid not to!

Looking at the Suns recent picks ownership should clean house they are doing a HORRIBLE job!

They cleaned house last fall, but I’m not sure they improved at all.
