There's a reason Josh Jackson is so high on the draft boards. Sometimes the college game makes it harder for some people to see what makes a player special. Just gotta watch long enough and you'll usually see it.

yep. if he shoots like he did today then ill join the josh jackson bandwagon. he was AMAZING

TPercy - MKG comparison was a stretch but as long as you got my point. if jumper is mediocre at best. but obviously he proved otherwise. if he shoots like that he has the most upside of anyone in the draft

WAH GWAN!

most def...if he shoots like that then i really dont see any flaws in his OVERALL game

Ball is great. Fultz is probably great.
Ball, Fultz and Jackson look like 1-2-3.
After that, we have Ntilikina, Fox, Smith, Isaac as the players we should be looking at. I’d be happy with any of them if we don’t break the top three.
Then there’s Monk, Tatum, Bridges, and Markkanen. They may be good but probably not what we need.

I need to look more closely at Smith and Isaac - I don't love what I've seen, but they're certainly talented. I agree they're probably in the top 7. If we miss out on the top 3, I'm really praying we get a crack at Fox.

Luckily we're on a 4 game west coast trip with a bunch of teams fighting for playoffs positioning. Even the Blazers are currently a game out of the 8th seed - they'll be trying to win.

Don't worry. We're losing at least 4 straight.

I think we tank better when we don't really try anyway.

He has worn down--no doubt about that--hes a wildcard. When you first got to see Kentucky--the guy looked like an athletic version of something between a superstar 4 point shooter and maybe a young Monta Ellis. He had 7-8 3's against Michigan State 47 points and 7-8 3's against North Carolina--as a freshmen. I think as the season has worn down--so has he. Hes built somewhat slight--Hes an undersized two guard. He doesnt have great ball handling skills--good but no where near great. Every single player will need to be checked out. He started hot and just has fallen off--but hes also a freshmen.

If the Lakers get #1, I can't see Magic Johnson passing on Lonzo Ball for Showtime 2. You move D'Angelo Russell in that scenario.

...they'd probably want our 2018 1st round pick thrown in...
