 I'd like to talk about Jackson joining the Celtics.

 Crowder and Brown looked great playing together. Is there room for Jackson to play major minutes.

 I love Jackson. Stevens would too. He might like him better than Brown based on his defensive effort which is awesome.

 What a difficult decision for Ainge. So many different ways to build this team.

 Jackson/Crowder/Brown would be a handful for years to come for other teams.

 Wanted to add that more than any other player in this draft, Jackson is a grind it out for 48 mins type of guy.

 When you keep adding guys like Smart, Jackson, Brown, Crowder, Bradley. Your gonna be tough to beat.

With his defensive intensity, he's definitely a Celtics type of player.

 20 points 10 guards and the best player on the court vs Kentucky, and Kansas won.

 Side note 5 Kansas players are witnesses to a alleged rape case of a 16 year old on Kansas campus or just off campus.

 No discipline yet, we will wait for more details in the coming days.

I really think people on here need to cool their jets about Boston getting the 1st pick this draft as even if Brooklyn finishes with the best odds, we still have a greater chance at getting the 4th pick than the 1st, in reality Josh Jackson may be the best we can get as he seems to be ranked 4th-5th range atm so more discussions about players like Jackson, Tatum, Fox ect... the better.

Striking out on Fultz could be a blessing in disguise. Just like we strike out on Ingram and Simmons because Jaylen is looking better than Ingram in limited minutes and Simmons has yet to play.

Fultz have yet to impress me. He got handles and scoring, but can he consistently put up stats without the ball and compete against tougher competition?

absolutely

He is also underrated on the offensive end.  I believe with practice he can make open 3s/FTs with consistentcy. Already a heck of a ball handler,  passer

Would absolutely love this guy.  I will be extremely OK with missing out on the #1 or #2 pick in the draft as long as we can get #3.  Any of Fultz, Ball, Jackson I'd be extremely happy with, but Jackson is the one I'm most excited about.

Why can't you let them dream about the 1st pick.  Do you ruin Christmas for kids too?

Dare I say Jackson reminds me of Lebron?  A thinner version

Those drive and dish offs are Lebronesque... has the "it" factor

What a comeback thanks to Jackson

You shouldnt say that. Not if you want anyone to take your posts seriously.

So tell me. What other explosive forward in the nba is able to drive past his man in an iso situation and dish off to the open man under the basket? Who does this remind you of?

Mods, please change this to Josh Jackson Hype Thread.

Seriously, I like him, but Lebron he is not.

A better Matt Barnes he is. Smart. Plays hard. Physical. Hitched jumpshot. Good passer. Athletic.

Starter upside. Fringe all-star upside.

No one jumps off the page to me.

Comparing him to Lebron is ridiculous.
