the notorious S.A.C. 89 Report post Posted March 18, 2018 Interestingly from March 24 to Apr 4th our team will determine its draft fate with 7 IN A ROW versus teams with comparable records (+/- 2 games). All winnable games and all losable games. We could essentially nail down the best odds for #1 by losing all of them or pick #9 by winning them. IMO Ive seen a decade of misery so what more does two weeks make....Id like to see us nail down #1 or #2 and take a jump to relevancy. Those high picks (if used correctly) can breath life into this putrid franchise. Who knows maybe a Penny Hardaway style trade surfaces for us....god knows we need it.

He didn't have the jump in production into his sophomore year that one would hope. I still like him though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtDan2012 201 Report post Posted March 18, 2018 1 hour ago, Magicfan1987 said: yeah Booker has definitely been overrated IMO he doesn't really do much more than score. He dropped 70 once, that's awesome. I'd like to see what he could do around compitent team mates but a player as exalted as him should lead his team to more wins. Yeah. I guess the occasional 35 was just a wee bit conservative on my part.... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No sweat. Didn't think you did, but I just forgot that homie has dropped a couple of mega whopper games as far as scoring goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murphy13 185 Report post Posted March 19, 2018 I haven't been as impressed with Jackson as some here. After his disappearance in the tournament I looked back on his season and he only had one maybe two good games against good teams. If it wasn't for the early season performance against Duke he would have an atrocious line against top 25 teams...like 4 points 3 rebounds and not much else averages. I understand he showed defensive potential but it takes more than that to be drafted near the top of this draft and he capitalized on a surprisingly easy schedule. I don't see him getting picked in the top 5 anymore. I'm sure he can turn out to be a strong player but he just doesn't have the upside to justify taking him over a handful of other players. He should return for another year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murphy13 185 Report post Posted March 19, 2018 If you watched him play you would see he has a hard time playing against players of equal/better length or ability. He'd be an unnecessary gamble before 5 in this draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted March 19, 2018 4 minutes ago, Murphy13 said: Your presumption that I haven't watched him is incorrect, just like your rating of him. He LOOKS like he needs another year. He doesn't affect the game in enough ways to be a go to player, which is the expectation of a top 5 pick. If you watched him play you would see he has a hard time playing against players of equal/better length or ability. He'd be an unnecessary gamble before 5 in this draft. Well you've always had a hard time projecting guys so I'm not surprised Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
