Now that the C's are shooting so well, I'd be fine gambling on a guy with a questionable jump shot if he did everything else well. I think Josh Jackson is that guy.
Even if it means endless forum posts about how good he could be if he only fixed he shot?

He was never considered a non shooter

I couldnt care less if there is a little hitch....as long as he can make the open jump shot/3 pt shot

His shot has always been considered questionable, at best.

He has shot  10-18 from 3 point land in the past 4 games

But he gets no credit from you. I get it, you just dont like him

So I don't like him because I don't think a FOUR game sample of EIGHTEEN shots is enough?

I think too much is being questioned about his shot. The slight hitch can be fixed. has fixed his shot, it's still not amazing, but you have to respect it and thats all you need.

Scal said the NBA is going to the 3pt shot, and at some point teams will scheme against it. to have a guy who can get to the hoop like Jackson and Brown will be YUGE in a couple years. Jackson is smooth on the court, great handles, finishes and passes well. Kinda reminds me of a more athletic Steve Smith. Not a great outside threat, but has to respected, but 6'8" pt forward who plays inside the pt line.

I could see Jackson playing the 2 from the get go. He's not big enough for the 4 and some times the 3, but he's quick enough to play the 2 and his length would be great on D against other 2's.

He doesn't have to be a great 3pt shooter, but a respectable one that will open up the rest of his game.

Single-handedly willed his team back in the game with his D and hustle. You can teach shooting but you can't teach desire, motor and leadership. This guy have all.

The kid is grit and grime.

He totally fits into the Celtics culture.

I haven't seen the highlights yet, but that sounds like Smart haha. We need a star player, not a role player....Let me see the highlights, hopefully Jackson looks good on both sides.

If Smart could finish in the paint with loud dunks he would be considerably better than he is now.

We need impact players, not empty stat padders. I don't think people would like to play against a 6'8", more athletic version of Smart.

He will transform other teams into winner if not drafted by the Celtics.

Then maybe watch some video before you post.  Better yet, watch a game so you can see the full impact of his game.  Lots of guys look good in the highlights.

yeah, the two huge differences between the two are that Jackson is actually a pretty gifted finisher in the paint and that Jackson is an explosive athlete.

Give Smart finishing ability and above the rim athleticism and hes a star.

Coach Self said that they would not be messing with his shot this year...they would leave it to the pro coaching staffs.

But he's on a hot streak now...so let that ride baby ride!!
