The big problem with jackson is his terrible shooting, whether its from the field or free throw.

Do we really need another layup shooting athlete? We have brown, smart, and it with the same layup style. Can we please get some outside shooting to space the floor ?

I'm with the guy saying fultz or Tatum. its not even drafting for need, I see Both fultz and Tatum seem to have advanced shooting ability from anywhere, tatums 3 is a bit more unknown but his stroke looks nice. Tatum has great size and and all around game seems better than jackson

iM not sure what you mean by layup stle but I think shot creation is a big need on this team and is highly valued in this league thus I like Tatum and Fultz more than most.

I alo think the team could use  a greater variety of attacking teams. You have alot of slashers but not many ball handlers and shot creators. I think thats really needed on this team.

I am not quite sure what you mean by terrible shooting. Early on in the season, sure. His 3 point shooting was bad.

But, over the final 17 games he played he shot 48% from 3 point range. He took 52 three pointers and made 25 of them.

Terrible shooting that is not.

This guy is a liability at the free throw line and can't shoot. Pass

Why do you think he cannot improve his free throws? That does happen.

Also, fultz is a poor free throw shooter as well. Should the Celtics pass on him as well?

Old? HAHA, sorry but that is just a narrative of people clutching at straws looking for weaknesses to write about Jackson. No one is too old to learn, grow or change anything, with the right attitude. Jackson is 20 and will not turn 21 till next year, to put that in perspective Jimmy Butler was 21 turning 22 when he was drafted and was thought to be only a defensive stopper when drafted. Steph Curry was 21 also and was thought to only be a small, weak jump shooting two guard. Draymond Green was 22, fat, undersized, couldn't shoot period and is now 27 and still adding to his game.

IMO Fultz has the lowest floor but Jackson has the highest ceiling. He could easily guard 1-4 at the NBA level and could even be a less long version of Draymond Green with better athleticism, capable of being a Kawhi type of two way talent given time.

Terrible shooting that is not.
justice Winlsow shot 42% from deep and 64% from the line.  In the NBA those numbers have become 26 from 3 and 66 from the line.

Free throws tend to lie less than three pointers.

Jackson shot 57% from the line and 38% from deep. His shot is also more broken than Winslows was.

Jackson trying to shoot the 3 without dipping the ball...   omg

Maybe he should go back to dipping the ball... not a smooth stroke... choppy

What's the rush Josh?   He really needs a good shooting coach to fine tune his mechanics.
