The more and more I see this kid, I'm fine with DA not moving the pick for some one. I can see him playing the 2 with Smart and Brown. Thats a lot of defense right there at the wings.

just an update. jackson is now shooting 36.6% from 3 point land. his FT % still is awful at 56%.

Just bc of one weakness (he could tidy up in anyways)

There is no need to "drown" the prospect...especially when he is pretty darn good in..

Excellent offensive rebounder, shot blocker, ball handler, passer , slasher , explosive, motor, toughness, iq and the list goes on

i wasnt "feeling" anything on jackson. i just updated some stats. the 3 point percentage has gone up and once was 27% i think. good news.

ft% was and is poor. not good news.

i was not convinced jackson was worth the number one pick given his shooting percentages. but now, ft can be fixed i think. if his 3 point shooting is for real, he may be worth the number one pick.

Is he the most "Lebron-like" prospect we've had since Lebron? I mean obviously, he will never be as good as Lebron, but the skillset seems to be similar: elite athleticism, measurables, defense, slashing, good handles, some playmaking ability, shaky but maybe fixable jump shot.


Great words from a great man

Exactly...a poor man version

Its all of these things you listed plus aggression, rising to the occasion

He needs take care of his social life though and not hang around bad apples...

Mistake to compare him to Lebron. He doesn't play the same way. Lebron is much more of a facilitator, more ball dominant.  Really a big PG. 

Jackson is more of a jack of all trades, let's the game come to him, makes a good basketball decision  almost every moment he's on the floor. He moves the ball, he drives when there is room, good handle, he takes the open shot, he boxes out for rebounds, he defends multiple positions.

His movement on the court is not at all like Lebron. He glides like Dr. J or Clyde Drexler. Old school, in a good way. Fundamentally one of the soundest college freshmen I have seen in quite some time.

This kid is SO grit and grime!

Even when he's not having an A+ game, he contributes and gives max effort...hope he's drafted and comes to the Celtics.

Was sloppy last night but I've watched him 6-7 games now and have never seen him take a play off.  Always trying to make the right play.

Yes... He is like a taller Marcus Smart. Strong rebounder
