Can you or any other Team Jackson guys tell me what he does at an elite level?
Does that fact that he did most of his damage against college 4s scare you? Do you think he'll be able to score against NBA wings?

Like LTB said... I'm not going to be upset at anything we do that night (still think a trade could be on the table)
But picking Jackson just SCREAMS "overthinking" to me.
Jackson feels like Okafor in this matter... safe, solid choice who gives you EXACTLY what he's showed you.
We are nowhere near The Warriors in this positionless basketball BS, take the gamble on the G and figure it out first before we have a team on non-shooting wings

Nah, it'll definitely benefit D'lo the same way bryce Alford benefited from Zo
Just don't like the notion that if Ball is chosen, it means we have to trade d'lo
Ive been on record saying IF ball is the pick
Let em run and gun

The reality is both Ball and Jackson are small ball players if used correctly. How many teams are going small? Just the good ones. Are we not trying to be like the good teams? Why get left behind? Why even hire Luke Walton? I think putting JJ at the 2 is the antithesis of small ball & something I'd avoid. If we weren't embracing this new small ball era, we would've took Jah 2 years ago.
You can try to turn Aaron Gordon into a 3 if you want, I'm playing him at his right position, the 4. You can try to play JJ/BI at 2 if you want, I'm starting them at 3 and hoping they'll eventually play minutes for me at the 4.

I'm #TeamFrontOffice
Whatever Magic, Rob and scouts decide, I'm good with
Lucky to have kept our pick 3 straight years
Lonzo, JJ and Fox all have pros/cons
And if we trade down and unload Deng/Moz, I'm good with that too
8 more days.....

Whoever they pick, I'm good with it.
I have my preferences, but I really like what all 3 prospects can bring.

....to be a shooting guard. Which is absolutely true.
If JJ could be a 4 then his shooting isn't a huge issue but it is if you're trying to say he can be a 2. That's dumb.

Westbrook still can't shoot tho

Why we assuming he is going to play the 2 the rest of his career. He already said he is open to playing the 4.

That's what I'm saying. And if the Lakers do want to be competitive in a couple years, are they going to be able to beat the warriors playing the same way?

Difference between a scorer and a shooter. JJ isn't going to get near that type of usage where his volume will make up for it.

Why do we NEED HIM to have that type of usage? Why?
Do we not have DLo and Ingram and Julius and Clarkson who will have high usage offensively?
Don't we need other types of skill sets on the court?

We don't. I think the point is if you're going to lead the league in scoring without being a great shooter, you better have the usage/volume (typically at the rim) to make up for it.Why do we NEED HIM to have that type of usage?

And we don't need another high usage player next to them. It would be perfect to pair Dlo Ingram and Julius with someone that can push the ball in transition for easy looks then spot up when the go to work in the half court... I wonder who that could be?
