2016-2017 College Basketball / '17 NBA Draft Thread III

[Negrodamus]

First and foremost Josh Jackson is a safe bet bet to be a star . He is a 2/3 with Shades of TMAC. He is the second best prospect in this draft and if he was a knockdown shooter he would be number 1. 76ers will be lucky to have him because he is a beast. Picking Tatum over him is a joke. Do your research kids! Jackson has superstar potential .

Are you going to unveil your research that brought you to this conclusion or are you just going to belittle anyone that's not drinking the Jackson Koolade?

They say Ball fits best with the Sixers.

See now you're making me nervous. Watch as the draft approaches, you start hearing Danny Ainge wants Josh Jackson. And he's secure enough in his position to take him.

Lmao, Ainge is going to wreck us, isn't he......I can just see it now.

Jaylen Brown
Markelle Fultz

for

Robert Covington
Richaun Holmes
Josh Jackson
2018 Lakers pick
2018 Sixers pick

Wasn't Colangelo desperately trying to get Jaylen Brown last year on draft night? I recall Noel, Covington and both late firsts being offered.

So Ainge is sitting there holding onto two players that Colangelo obviously loves (Fultz and Brown).

We need to block Ainge's number from every phone in the building.

Shut your mouth. Now you're making me nervous lol. If the Celtics want to draft Fultz then go ahead. I'm very happy with 3. Ainge better not mess this up and take Jackson. He needs to give what the people want. They want Fultz.

I've been saying it all along. I think D'Angelo Russell was a better player coming out than Markelle Fultz. I wouldn't be surprised if Ainge was less than impressed with the "consensus" #1 and preferred Jackson/Ball.

Anyone have Jackson's HS shooting percentages? Watching highlights and seeing how he improved his shot (and looking at his high school mixes), I feel like he's always had the ability to shoot, was just maybe adjusting to the new competition

[sixerhp3]

Also, another thing that isn't being mentioned is Jackson's nastiness on the court. The guy has a competitive fire under him and talks a lot of crap. Him and Embiid are going to frustrate a lot of opponents and get into their head.

[Unbreakable99]

Hardly anyone has us taking Jackson. Smh.

I really wouldn't be mad if we we're seeing what Magic would want for Russell. I think people really underrate how good he actually is and his failings have been overblown because of the LA spotlight.

I've seen hardly any of us not taking JJ?

Sacramento fan here:

What would it take to move up to 3 for Jackson you guys get 5 for Monk or Tatum. No Vlade won't trade 5 and 10

I agree, Russell was better, but I haven't wanted to get into that argument.

As far as choosing between Fultz and Ball, I can see why people would prefer Fultz. Ball has a quirky game, that some think can't work. I don't agree, but I understand it. With Fultz and Jackson, I can't fathom how an NBA GM looks at those two players and chooses Fultz as the better talent.

If the sixers keep the #3 pick I would prefer them to take Jackson. That would give the Sixers the most athletic front count in the league with Embiid-Simmons-Jackson.

Lol. I don't hate Tatum. I feel about the same you do about him. I just like Jackson better. Tatum has a lot to offer but I lean to Jackson and prefer him.

[Negrodamus]

Texas gets Bamba. They might be a serious contender if Andrew Jones returns (which is expected). Serious get for Shaka.
