Josh Jackson Thread (Merged)

[Ilikesports17]

I feel the need to correct (or at least challenge) an assumption about Jackson's role on the Celtics with Jaylen Brown also here.  Generally people seem to assume Jaylen will be the 2/3 and Jackson the 3/4.  I think that's backwards.  While Jackson is taller in terms of pure height, Jaylen is both longer in terms of reach, and thicker in terms of weight.  He will be the 3/4, and Jackson the 2/3.

I bet Jackson has a longer reach... I wouldnt be surprised by the combine he is 6'8.5 or 6'9

Jackson is willing to stick his nose under the basket more to grab rebounds/alter shots vs Brown...which makes him more of 3/4 vs 2/3 imo

Im gonna agree with SL here.

Brown has a longer standing reach (3 inches) and is 20 pounds heavier than Jackson.

I think early in their careers they will both be best at the 2/3, but Brown certainly has the better body type and athletic profile to play the 4.

sorry to beat an old horse, but CBS doesnt see positions this way. i think having two swings such as jackson and brown would not put them at odds with one another's playing.

OK, so are they both swings?

or are they both wings?

Trouble just seems to follow this guy around...

Wow...just wow!!

My problem with Jackson isn't necessarily that he vandalized a car, its WHOS car he vandalized. While sure it could be coincidence that he damaged her car, she was still the victim of domestic abuse by one of his teammates. Might it be unrelated? Maybe.

But celtic pride makes me feel cautious about someone who would go out of his way to continue to victimize a victim of assault just because its one of his friends. For his sake I hope there is more to the story, but if not, he just looks like a predator.

Edit: Removed my link, beat me to it The One, TP.

So not only did he damage the car of a victim of one of his friends, he also tried to pay her off for silence. Not loving his attitude at all. At what point do we stop saying he is being a stupid kid, and do we acknowledge he has actual personality flaws? I mean the guy isn't Greg Hardy, but he is no angel.

He will learn from this

Im not worried

That's a BIG risk triboy...are you willing to put your name on the dotted line to select him at #3 overall in a loaded draft?

Due to this whole mess, Tatum and Isaac are now on the same level as Jackson...if I'm running the Celtics' Big Board.

Blame Jacksons attorney ... Read the story. It was the attorney ... Jackson is very young.

Look I will put my name on the line to say we should take him 2nd, that's not the issue. I just want people to understand that we will have to really be careful because as of right now, he isn't a good person.

What makes you think he will learn from this? There is no evidence that he will. None that he wont, but there is none that he will.

Once they both develop I think either could play any position 2-4 and switch on defense 1-4.

I've got more of a problem with KU letting Vick player after finding that he likely kicked Calvert in the face.

But, my guess is that this incident had more to do with retaliation for Calvert throwing her drink on Vick, rather than for something that occurred before Jackson got to KU. As for paying her off, these type of settlements happen all the time.
