For your sake I hope they do. Afraid it is not Jackson you might not make it...

Hoping his trade value tips the scales and we select him. And if trade later falls through, we still have a terrific player with tremendous BBIQ who will contribute serious minutes out of the gate.

Brad will love him.

This is my line of thinking. We probably can't lose if we pick Jackson. Worst case scenario we have a hustle hyper athletic  6'8 wing with average length, who can guard multiple positions, pass well above average for his position, and can't shoot.

If he develops a shot, and hits his peak, he is probably a better Andre Igoudala.

Isn't anyone else sick of this being a qualifier for every player we draft?

Ainge will take whichever player he likes better.   Obviously, if a trade is in place and he is picking for another team, that will take precedence.  The selection of Jackson will not signify that a trade is in place as Danny could genuinely think JJ is the better prospect.  But if no trade is in place he definitely takes the player highest on his board.

What if PHX has deal with Knicks contingent on taking Jackson. Why can't Danny take Jackson as leverage, especially if he values him the same as Tatum?

Yabusele? That's your rebuttal? Without really thinking about it:

Jaylen Brown
Marcus Smart
Terry Rozier
Jared Sullinger (He could be Kevin Love-lite)
Avery Bradley (although this one has worked out)

The lone exception here is Kelly freakin' Olynyk. Ainge has a fixation on "intangibles" guys who can't shoot.

Well I think the fascination is in that you can teach a guy how to shoot. That's one of the easiest facets to improve.

It hasn't worked out with a few, but some have learned to shoot. I believe Jaylen will be a good shooter. Avery became one.

Why is no one talking about the possibility that LAL picks Jackson at 2?  It appears to be a foregone conclusion that the Lakers will pick Ball, but I haven't heard anything attributed the Lakers that indicates he is their choice.  May have missed it.

I don't disagree per se, but KO and Young were both considered shooters. So was RJ Hunter. Brown shot the lights out in his workout. MarShon Brooks was taken for his shooting/scoring. Delonte West was a shooter. DJax shot 38% from deep in this college career.

Point being, circumstances play a big role here, too. Was there a shooter worth taking when we chose Sullinger with a late 1st? Should we have taken Stauskas or McDermott over Smart? Those were the next two shooters on the board.

We picked Rondo 21st, with a pick we bought from Phoenix. If anything, this suggests that Danny is brilliant at finding underrated players due to their shooting woes.

Jabari Parker...I mean Jayson Tatum is coming and I look forward to the offense. Parker was averaging 20 and 6 this year with top 25 type player efficiency. I will take that any day.
