And he's the youngest player projected in the lotto. He only got 6.6 fga per game as he was a freshman playing on a team that returned their starting center and starting power forward (and top two scorers) from the previous season. But I like him because he was an elite rim protector, a 40% three point shooter, continued to improve as the year went on, and has the foot speed to switch onto wings on the perimeter so he fits exactly what we want to do. Jackson is a unicorn and has more use in the league than ANY of the bigs in this draft. He's a sports lab creation and perfect for any team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless we get lucky and resign Mario we have a track record that is not real good! This is of drastic importance, a TRUE development coach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,210 Report post Posted May 21, 2018 Mavs expected to go after De’Andre Jordan, Demarcus Cousins and Julius Randle in free agency. Per Hoopshype Could be good news for us if they go Porter and rely on FA for a big. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawks trade down and get Young (if they're high on him) + additional assets. We get Jackson (or our Target at 3). Win/win. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Better DJ & Photographer 456 Report post Posted May 22, 2018 https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/249937/Clippers-Interested-Using-No-12-No-13-To-Trade-Up-In-Draft I've been saying all along that if it comes down to Porter at #6 I'd rather try and trade for the clips #12 & #13 and it looks like they might want him and be willing to do the deal. SGA and one of the centers would be a better/safer haul than risking everything on one possibly damaged player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
