Yeah I wasn't sure what the "character" stuff came from. Other than that weird dorm room issue they had, but was he involved?

He kicked a females car and broke her tail light and threatened her with his buddy.

He has anger issues but I think his anger management classes are paying off.


Guess I missed that one. Thanks for the info.

Magic


Orlando fans love him but boy do they need offense...and have a ton of defense. I'm sure they'd take him though because they have said it's the same FO team now that took Greek Freak and he is the exact type of guy they love to take a shot on like they did with Giannis.

Tatum sees himself as Paul George... Grant Hill just interviewed him... I dont see it.

but if Tatum elevates his defense.... maybe. But he's not as agile or explosive as George. I see more Danny Granger.

Yes, but we did that last year and I didn't want to get spoiled as I watched and I was pretty much the only one in that thread, so eventually I just went to the other one too with spoilers.

Oh...well then, nevermind :P

Well he alledgedly vandalized a women's car (one from their women's basketball team) and threatened her with physical violence.

Danny Granger is a great comp for Tatum. Very similar players, especially if Tatum adds some more weight.

If Jackson is available then he should be the pick no question about it but I've resigned myself long ago to him being gone. I want the Suns to have another Shawn Marion with an almost equally **** up looking shot. :lol:


I think Isaac is more like Marion than Jackson, despite lacking the fugly shot. Neither were/are good at creating their own shot, both are decent shooters (though I think Isaac is better) and both are good defenders/rebounders. They're what I'd call a hybrid wing that can fulfill some wing duties and some 4 duties. Jackson plays more like a traditional wing and doesn't have the same kind of ability to play as a 4. Jackson reminds me of a bigger Iggy.


Marion is not a bad comp. They say he has a quick twitch. He's longer and can cover more ground quickly...between the perimeter and paint on defensive end to disrupt quick guards, etc. I don't know if he has that same crazy pogo bounce rebounding effort that Marion had. I like the Iggy comp for Jackson.


I think Marion was a little more explosive but Isaac is bigger. I doubt Isaac will have the same knack for scoring Marion had but I don't think it's out of the question. He should provide a similar level of defensive flexibility. Then all we'd need is another Steve Nash.

One thing I like about jacksons shot is that he is always very square when he shoots. Reminds me of how ray allen would rise straight up and down everytime. NO IM NOT SAYING HES RAY ALLEN. I dont even really think his shot looks that bad besides the little hitch. Michael redd had an ugly ass shot and look how he turned out. Ive seen some ugly shooters in my life on the street ball courts, I can also tell you that if you practice that ugly shot enough you can be a good shooter. I see comparisons to marions shot, but marion literally had zero forum, he just flick/shoved the ball.

Here's a far-out scenario:

Teams go crazy when JJ is there at 4. We deal 4 and Miami picks for Zingy/Noah then deal Bledsoe for a pic later in the lotto.

Yeah unless they are looking to cut salary, that move wouldn't make any sense to me. Would rather they just keep Bledsoe.
