Josh Jackson Thread (Merged)

Kawhi, Durant, Lillard? I'll take any of em....

If he had range and a consistent jump shot,  he'd be in consideration for the  first pick.
If Boston picks  3 or 4, he  might be in a Celtics uniform  next season.
Long term who has more upside: Jackson, Isaac or  Fultz?

Ball

Never was good at multiple choice.

Anyone watching WVU vs. Kansas right now?

just looking at the box score Jackson is 3-12 with just 12 points but he does have 9 rebounds 4 steals and perhaps most importantly 6-8 on free throws.

he ended up shooting 4-13 I believe ...but had other nice stats across the board
Not his best game but still Kansas wins in OT.

I'm really starting to come around on Jackson. Kudos to Triboy for pushing him. At first I didn't see much special. But the more I watch him the more I get excited.  His versatility on offense and defense is preeminent. Stevens system places a high value on that quality. He can cover multiple positions with ease, can play 3 positions on offense, nice handle. Has that Marcus Smart intensity gene. Plus very team oriented. One knock is his outside shot which he seems to have solved. Also helps he plays a position where we are not as deep. And Jaylen could play more off guard when we want to go big.

Jackson would be able to contribute good minutes right away. More mature player than Ball or Fultz.

I am down to selecting him or Ball if given the choice. Ball seems transcendent type who gets best out of his teammates like Magic and Kidd.

Fultz will put up great numbers in NBA but I'm skeptical he will improve our team much. I still think he will be number one pick but if we land top choice could see Danny trading down 1-2 slots to take either Ball or Jackson.

Of the top prospects, IMO, Jackson would fit in with our team personality and chemistry the best.  He gets after it on defense, shares the ball, and has defensive versatility.  If we keep the pick, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Jackson in green next year.

Watching Kansas Baylor right now, and Jackson is just dominating defensively.  Getting deflections, steals, post blocks, transition blocks.

God I love Jackson.

I want him so badly

[Emmette Bryant]

So does anybody want to compare Josh Jackson and Andrew Wiggins as prospects?

i agree with most of the points on jackson, however, i was not aware that he has solved his shooting woes. please let me know what the basis is for saying his outside shooting problems are solved.

thanks.

Which would be a sign that he's headed in the right direction, not that he has "solved" his issues.  I love Jackson, but he definitely needs to continue to improve his shooting.  Lots of bricks today.

He have the poise, tenacity and defensive IQ. Definitely the most NBA ready among the top prospects.
