Went backed and watched Jackson a bit more. No doubt that if he had a better jump shot he would be the number one pick.

Great motor, great passing skills and is athletic as hell. But that jump shot is ugly. Really ugly. Slow and low release

I think long run he has a higher upside than tatum because he is so athletic. But the jumper is really a liability for him at the 3.

"They did a little bit of moving around with their pick," Jackson said. "I felt like they made it pretty clear who they were going to draft with the No. 1 pick, so I didn't really feel like it was worth either of our times for me to work out with them, but then after they did the flip and went to No 3, by then it was too late."

Though Jackson has not worked out for the Celtics, it was reported Wednesday that the team had received his medical information. ESPN's Chad Ford believes the C's are leaning towards drafting Duke's Jayson Tatum at No. 3.

Asked whether his decision to skip a meeting with Boston could cause him to fall in the draft, he admitted that was a possibility, but that he was fine with where things stood.

"It could,” he said. “It may or may not, but like I said before, I'm just happy to be here. Wherever I end up Thursday, I'll be happy."

I wonder If Danny wanted Josh to fly to Boston on Monday/Tuesday

Or they were going to meet him in Brooklyn and rent a gym or something

Josh and agent if desparate could have adjusted their schedule to fit in a workout...on the other hand , Josh has a point. The trade was not official until Monday afternoon. 
Schedule was a bit tight

I believe Ainge wanted and tried to bring him in when they still had the top pick. Jackson even said it was a waste of his time because he felt Boston was going Fultz with the number one.

Today was damage control by Jackson. He wanted to play in LA. But now realizes that is not happening and needs to say the right things.

I find it hard to accept he did not have time. He has been in New York the last week...and Tatum made the time.

Complete and utter nonsense. In the time after the trade became a legitimate possibility, we saw at least Dennis Smith, Lauri Markkanen, and Jayson Tatum. If Jackson wanted to come in, he could've.

If he wanted to work out for boston he would have. Before or after the pick trade. It is 2 hours of his schedule. He was not on the West coast.

Now the workout should not matter if they take or pass on him.
Just think there is more to it.
