Jackson looked awful in his Laker workout. Couldn't make shots outside...handles were suspect. We have this guy already in Brown.

With 3 inches longer wingspan and a promising jump shot.

He has a promising jump shot? Since when? His jumper is suspect and the biggest weakness he has.

Jackson also a good rebounder. Nose for the ball. ALWAYS blocks his man out on D. People will notice these things if we get him. I watched 10-12 of his games. Never saw him take off one play. Head really into the game. That's a gift. Stevens will give him a lot of minutes if we draft him. And his shot is funky but he shoots with confidence. He doesn't force bad shots line Smart. His handle in the open court is nice.


Not saying anything negative about Jackson, but seriously I though Brown was "all that."

What are we saying by drafting another young small forward, with similar faults as the one we drafted just last year. Was Brown a mistake?
If you are referring to browns shooting, as a 19 year old he shot league averagesformthe nba i believe. That is pretty good and he will get better.

In college he has done to,play hero ball and was double teamed.  With the Celtics, brown improved. 

As for Jackson, he shoot something like 47% from 3 point range in the final part of the season.

I prefer Fultz, but Jackson is going to be very good.

Were you there? Did you actually see his workout? Or are you really basing this on what the Lakers want us to hear?

Also, how much stock does anyone put into an individual workout vs a career of full games against top college teams?
