Well if you can't shoot you better be able to pass, he would be the polar opposite of AB.

I still would prefer Fultz.
Just looking on the bright side.

Let's be honest. Who wouldn't want a Draymond-type player in the team? He's the closest thing in this draft in terms of skillset. And Draymond isn't exactly a great shooter either. He only shot 30% from beyond the arc this season.

If he's drawing defenders with him, then he's a scoring threat, whether he can shoot it from distance or not.

Jackson shoots 50% with uncontested 3s.

If its true and the C's are serious about Jackson, then are we to think Brown was a mistake? Both are small forwards who need to improve there shooting, and in the case of Jackson his terrible free throw shooting.

And if I'm Jae Crowder, I'm packing my bags. And don't give me that Jae can play the 4, or Brown can be a 2.
Crowder at the 4 is for short minutes, under the heading of small ball lineups.

Fultz is the way to go, even if he isn't a point, he could be the answer at shooting guard for years to come.

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?

Draymond Green is the best defensive player in the world. Jackson does not compare to him at all.

Even if Jackson was identical to brown that logic is flawed. It's good to have multiple players of certain types. When the blazers took mcColum were they admitting Lillard was a mistake? Of course not.

Second, brown's iq on both sides of the ball were huge question marks. They are strengths for Jackson. Brown wasn't a passer, Jackson is a very good one.

Also, browns shot selection got a lot better this year but as a prospect it was really criticized.

Gotta give that to Kawhi, but I see what you’re saying. Jackson projects to be a good defender, but by no means is that his specialty. I just read an article saying OG Anunoby and Jonathon Isaac are the two best defenders in the draft. Those guys are potential lockdown defenders, not Jackson.

If we want passing we could just get ball. ball with all the criticism actually has a NICER jumper! Lol

Yep.  17.4% defensive rebounding rate. A little better than Amir Johnson and a little worse than Horford, for reference.

Nobody is Draymond, but Jackson does similar things.  Probably projects as a B+ defender, rebounder and passer.  That's the best you're gonna find in this draft.

This guys game is so limited. Another stretch that cannot shoot. We have one in Jaylon Brown

Yeah, if I'm comparing one guy in this Draft to Draymond, it's Isaac. He should be able to block shots, rebound at a high level, and defend the perimeter. As for Draymond vs. Kawhi, I have Kawhi as #2 behind Dray, because I feel bigs are inherently more impactful on defense.
