Josh Jackson Thread (Merged)

[hwangjini_1]

I wonder if he is now off the board for the Celtics.

Who needs those headaches?

right, the next thing we know he will be getting into bar fights and being stabbed while in LA. we all know where that sort of behavior inevitably leads a young nba player.

If this is what is public...what is there behind the scenes?

Really like his game...but dem off court decisions though. 

Yeah, Have to admit I never made a bad decision when I was 19. Bet you never did either.

Hardly his only one in Lawrence.

"The one-game suspension stems from a Feb. 2 traffic incident that Jackson told Self about Monday. Jackson is scheduled to appear in Lawrence Municipal Court this month after being cited for three traffic violations."

"In a separate matter, Jackson faces one misdemeanor charge of criminal property damage. He is scheduled to be arraigned on April 12 in Douglas County District Court."

Hope jackson cleans up soon

I just keep thinking what a dream fit he would be for this lineup..

[mr. dee]

so he's a bad driver

i'd still draft him

I would still draft him too and give him a personal driver

Ainge won't touch him (for better or worse), he's too character-oriented.  May be the same for Ball / his dad -- he likes guys with potential, esp athletically, that could benefit from coaching BBIQ and work-ethic.

who Jackson??  he is still very young.... all these "frat" like incidents , happen in college

If he doesn't occur another problem after the 1 game suspension,   I think everything will be cool

 Disagree Tarheels. If can Jackson or Ball are the most talented players on the board when we pick than that's who we will take.

. Neither player has major red flags.

Well, he did take Smart after the whole fan-pushing incident, so who knows.

Of course, if you believe Smart's story of the situation, it's hard to blame him, though he still shouldn't have done it. That's a bit different than Jackson's stuff.

Let's just hope we get adults anyways.

Suspension about to cost Kansas.. first round exit about to happen.

Yup,  but why did they suspend him?  I'm confused about why he was suspended.  What did he do?

[green_bballers13]

Per NBC Sports:

Kansas suspended the freshman for its Big 12 tournament opener after receiving three citations for a hit-and-run. He was already facing a misdemeanor property-damage charge for allegedly damaging the car of Kansas women’s basketball player who was previously found to be the victim of domestic violence by one of Jackson’s teammates.

I think I'm still interested in him!

This sounds like a situation where we fans cannot have much to add.  Ainge will get to meet him and talk to his coaches and learn about who he is.  We as fans will never know enough to pass judgment one way or another.

i may be mistaken, but i think i read that the hit-and-run involved backing up into another car, then driving away without leaving a note.

[Tr1boy]

Jackson has already apologized to his coach and teammates...  next game he misses is not a big big deal

MM tourney still around the corner

I expect Jackson to raise the intensity for the tourney

[footey]

Saltlover has convinced me that Danny wants Fultz which I get, because he has the greatest ability to create his own shot. But still a huge fan of Jackson, think he would fit right into our team team. Either one of those two guys could fit into our team roster. Ball is an incredible talent but we may have to move pieces for him to fit, especially IT. I don't see that happening.
