His defensive play is purely athleticism/size based. He can get punished hard at the NBA level in 1/5 PnRs and by well spaced offenses

The guy is quick as hell. Wtf.

So is Karl Anthony Towns. Doesn't mean you're automatically a good PnR defender.

No, he isn't.

Once his new extension kicks in I believe so?

His regression from Y1 to Y2 in Maryland is extremely alarming. I'd stay away from him, there are 15+ 2nd round guys I like more than Jackson

I agree, i was high on him last year

Not if we continue getting swept and vastly underperforming from a 60-win level in the playoffs, I don't, imo

One of his biggest mistakes as a GM was incorrectly assessing Ibaka as a player.

So frustrating because we clearly all saw it after we traded for him

Our front office probably thought he just needed a full training camp with us. They were wrong

Sounds like a Masai pick

Oh snap, Musa to BKN. That's a steal imo.

I want to get Musa and/or Okobo. Come on Masai

Can someone recap all the players selected with our previously owned picks like our own first, the clips first and the second rounder. Curious to see what we gave up to get out from Carroll and sign our allstar PF.
