Ball or Jackson- Whose Stock Rises Most in Next 2 Weeks?

[saltlover]

Jackson's stock will rose more, because Kansas will advance further.

I imagine you're right that Kansas goes further, but don't you think Ball will get more credit if he beats 2 seed Kentucky and lights up Fox than Jackson would get for advancing to the final 4 as a 1 seed?

I don't think UCLA beats Kentucky, which is part of my point, and I think Fox causes him a lot of trouble in their head-to-head matchup.

And Jackson has opportunities to look really good when he's matched up against Swanigan, which he can win on both ends of the court.

Fox causing Ball a lot of trouble proved to be an understatement.

Ball may not be able to step on yo a weak team like Fultz had and do anything . 

Fultz might have lead UCLA to a win tonight .   

Ball is not tuff ,  he avoided contact and did not take over game in any way .

Ball ......over rated when matched up with quick , long , tall , NBA type players

Yup, as predicted:

Really looking forward to the game on Friday.  He'll be going against the most talented team he's played in the tournament in Kentucky, and he'll be guarded by Fox who is more athletic than he is.  I have the most Q's about Ball of any top 4 prospect but still think he could end up the best.

Ball has played plenty of talented backcourt's this season, Washington (Fultz), USC, Oregon, Arizona and even Kentucky.  He hasn't looked overmatched in any of them that I've seen.

Agreed, but he played Kentucky awhile ago and they start 3 freshman, who I think have made strides since then. I'm specifically interested in the Fox matchup due to Fox's speed and athleticism. I want to see what Lonzo can do offensively besides his step back / deep 3s.

If Kansas or Kentucky take the chip I am gonna clean up...

This is funny as heck.  He could not even lead his team to a .500 record.   Man, thanks for the laugh, your hysterical.

UCLA without Ball is still a tournament team.

Ball is the laugh ,  do you even watch with open eyes ....LOLs ....bad ha ....Fultz had zero help on his team, a weak nothing team.  If Ball was on Washington , they would have been even worse.  your kidding me , after last nights joke ......Fultz is clearly the better player. Laugh is on you dude.

Smh......you are  a funny boy

Ball had off game particularly from 3 point line. Didn't feel it had anything to do with Fox. Fox played great.

I think Fultz is a better prospect, but it's unfair to judge on just one game.

Fultz has struggled against good opponents at times, too. 34.8% shooting against Arizona. 38.5% shooting against Gonzaga. He even sucked when playing Western Kentucky, hitting 21.4% of his shots.

One game means nothing. These are young kids, and occasionally they're going to struggle.
