TP, that's a really good scouting report.

Currently NBADraft.net has Jackons #1 and going to the Celtics. I think this is the first big draft site that I've seen that doesn't have Fultz going #1.

nbadraft.net is a scam. Possible the worst mockdraft site around. It seems like they rank the prospects based off of name mentions from a google search.

To your point, they've also got De'Aaron Fox #4, ahead of Jason Tatum. Only place I've seen that, too.

Josh Jackson is rated a "100" prospect on there and Fultz is a "99", so it's not even for fit purposes.  That being said, NBAdraft.net is the worst site on the internet for this stuff.

Thought I would throw up Jackson's Draft Express extended scouting report videos for the good folks of Cs blog here.

He has easily worked his way into the 2nd best player in this draft in my book. His off the ball movement and activity is just so refreshing to see from a player with his athletic gifts.

Yeah, I've got him ahead of Ball, too. There's just something about Ball that makes me nervous his game won't translate when he's playing against bigger, stronger, faster defenses. I could be totally wrong, but I worry.

Jackson could be a nice player.
The hitch in his jumpshot is awful though and he is often way out of control going to the rim.
Defensive awareness and ability are probably the best in this draft.

Fultz is just a way better player on the offensive end and it puts him on his own in the franchise potential category for me.

Jackson is also more than a year older than most of these guys.

I 0% think DA would draft JJ. JJ is the type of player DA likes, but I'd say more than that, DA has shown a preference for high-character individuals. With the crime and controversy that surfaced surrounding JJ, I don't think we take him.

You might think of Smart as an exception, but I think the scenario was vastly different.

Oh please. Crime and controversy? Not saying he's an angel, but you're not drafting him because he kicked a car and left scene of hitting a parked car?  Cmon.

"TULSA, Okla. (AP) — One day before top-seeded Kansas opens NCAA Tournament play, court officials released an affidavit that said freshman star Josh Jackson threatened to “beat” a women’s basketball player during a confrontation in December."

Ainge has a history of liking high character individuals – why we didn't take DMC for example. See here for more:

When the top 4-5 players are all so good, I think every "little" bit matters, even the intangibles.

An affidavit is meaningless. You act like it was a judgment.

[Royrebirth]

Hey footey, I am in no way trying to be belligerent with you – I value your opinion, and this is just what I think.

But an affidavit is literally a sworn statement before the criminal justice system, which actually holds weight in court. These statements are consistent with his misdemeanor in destruction of property / vandalism – he was actually charged for the vandalism which came after he made these threats to that same girl whose property he vandalized.
