How do Jackson, Brown, and Hayward play together

[vjcsmoke]

If Jackson is our pick after a trade down.  I'm wondering if it will be Jaylen or Josh who play SG?  That's the only way it makes sense to me.

IT-Jackson-Brown-PF-Horford

But if we end up taking Jackson, it makes no sense to sign Gordon Hayward as we'd have 2 wing players already.  In that case it would make sense to go all in for Blake Griffin to play PF and hope that his health holds up.

That might also signal that we will move AB.  Since we can't pay both IT and AB at the same time, and we converted one of JB/JJ to the SG position.

It makes no sense to run 4 small forwards with JB+JJ+Crowder+Hayward.

Neither with CBS schemes. He deploys ball handlers, wings, swings, and bigs. Both josh and jaylen could fit wing and swing category.

I could see them playing together a lot. Both are unselfish, very athletic , great defenders. See Jackson playing power forward role in small ball lineups.

Where would Crowder - Hayward play? (assuming we sign Hayward)

Cant play all 4 wings at once, but you could play 3 of them at once.

All of them but Crowder should be able to play the 2-4 pretty effectively.

Brown would be the shooting guard.
Plus, Jackson's shooting problems may be exaggerated.
Avery and Brown were not supposed to be shooters either.

He weighs 210 lbs. guarding small forwards will be tough enough, you want him to guard grown men? Smart is more physically capable the 2 of them together can build a house!

He shoots 56.6% from the line, you can't exaggerate that!

[hpantazo]

That would be ideal for Stevens. Multiple versatile, skilled players that can all switch on defense and play fluid roles on offense.

I also imaging Crowder will be gone in a trade if we get Jackson and Hayward.

[Roy H.]

I don't think we should get our hopes up for free agency.

and 37.8% from three.

The same way Iggy, Harrison and Klay played together. A small ball lineup with wings is much better than a small lineup of guards.

Jackson is stronger than he looks. And let's not pretend that he's already a finished product with his build.

That's what I was thinking as well. If Danny wants to draft Jackson, perhaps he already knows we aren't signing Hayward. (??)

Unless he is planning to go after Griffin?? Ugh the more I think about it the worse it gets...
