Why the 2017 BKN pick is nearly untouchable

[libermaniac]

I'd trade my first born and one testicle for Josh Jackson. What a beast.

He can play the 2, right?  Can Jaylen play the 4 or the 2?  Jaylen seems more of a natural 3 than anything, but I'm just wondering  how they would look together in like 3 years.  Would Smart/Jackson/Brown work as the 2-3-4?

I was concerned about drafting Jaylen this year for that reason, but I guess you can't worry about that if you're really high on a prospect. I'm not sure.

One the one hand, Jackson looks like he could play 2-4 (in the mold of PG). I imagine he'll be more NBA-ready, talent-wise, than Brown. But I doubt he'll be strong enough to play the 4 before a couple of years in the league.

On the other hand, Brown will probably be strong enough but doubtfully ready to make major contribution (esp with re: to stretching the floor at the 4). But man that could be a dynamic core.

I've seen Jackson referred to as a 2 more often than not. Provided they both develop as shooters, Jackson-Brown could be a dominant 2-3 duo for a decade+.

Not to mention all of the Jackson Browne tunes we could use for highlight clips. ;-)

The 2017 Draft is officially overrated.
