Fox's speed is just bizarre.

Miles Bridges outplaying Josh Jackson so far.

Ball's shot mechanics aren't my greatest concern with his game after watching like 10 of his games. Other playing characteristics of his bother me even more so.

Give us Jackson and be done with it.

Josh Jackson is impressive so far in the tournament. Need to compare him with Tatum later tonight

Before this year it had been a long time since I watched a lot of college bball. Observation: There are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many timeouts and other breaks in the action. For this huge NBA fan it's really tough watching the NCAA action or lack of, especially with no team to root for.

I want Josh Jackson. Bridges played well against him, but once Jackson settled down he played a great game.

Josh Jackson has star written all over him.

He's looking really promising lately. Coming into the tournament I was undecided on who we should draft between him and Tatum if we don't finish with the first/second picks. I still want to see more 3s made by Jackson but he definitely pulled ahead in my opinion today.

Josh Jackson is the whole truth. This game showed the mid-range game he's shown flashes of throughout the season. I suspected that JJ would be similar to Devin Booker in that his role on his team prevented him from showing a much deeper scoring game. This game hinted at that. If he continues playing like this he may contend for the #1 pick , as he would have very few flaws as a prospect. Two-way player, who can defend the perimeter as well as the paint at a high level, who is an elite level slasher with elite level athleticism, can hit the open three, AND has the ability to make his own offense from the perimeter and high post through nifty stepbacks and turnarounds?!?! Perhaps the only red flags at this point are his ft% and the whole Carrie Underwood car fiasco...

I actually think the opposite. I like how the 20 minute halves keep the game-flow at a decent pace. I'll agree though that the NCAA tournament is milked for commercial breaks waaaaayyy too much.

My guess: Suns gets JJ with their picks and trade Bledsoe for Fox or Monk (Kentucky!).

Post #1435 » by **Qwigglez** » Mon Mar 20, 2017 12:42 am

We could probably trade Bledsoe to NY for their pick and take Frank.

Read on Twitter

One long-time NBA GM to me just now: "There are 3, maybe 4, No. 1 picks in this draft -- Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball and Josh Jackson for sure. Maybe Jayson Tatum too. All of those guys have star potential. " Jackson certainly made his case today with an elite performance against Michigan State. He's the best two-way player in the draft.

That means we are guaranteed to drop to 5th with the lotto draw.

It would help if the changed the shot clock to NBA rules though, or close to it.

I would take Tatum if JJ, Fultz and Ball are all gone but I'm not sure if I love the fit next to Booker. Both are iso scorers who are likely going to be the primary scorer for their team. I think Jackson fits the current core much better and Lonzo's facilitating will create so many easier looks for Booker, Chriss, Warren, Bender, etc

If we have the 1st or 2nd pick, and take Ball, how will you feel
