GG Jackson, 17 minutes, 1/7 from the field. 1 rebound.
Should have gone to OTE tbh.

Of all the draft routes you can take as a top ranked HS prospect, going to a ****** school in a major conference is easily the worst option.
Situation going south. I think NIL money was a factor in GG going to South Carolina.

I don't care what team you are on, that is a huge red flag.
Wouldnt be shocked to see him join the Ignite next year to enter the draft in 2024.

i hope that's what he does. that would tell us a lot about where he's at as a prospect. because right he's just a ****** player with a bad attitude who is really young so you want to give him a pass because he appears to be really talented.

He is easily a top 40 pick in any draft imo. Has made huge improvements . Now imo any 6'9" explosive athlete at over 230lbs pushing 250 aka nba ready, and has started to figure it all out, at least enough to be on all kinds of national player of the year ballots, is definitely getting drafted if he declares.
He would be foolish not to declare after the season he has been having. That and having Hawkins on the roster with him as well as some others with 2nd round pick potential this season, is drawing even more attention to his climbing stock.
I am not understanding why you would think he isn't getting drafted? thinking of another player?
I bet you've been saving that one for the late season push… i personally think it’s a bit premature…

You just have to realize both Dick eruptions and Dick disappoints are all part of the journey.

The more negative press GG gets the better shot we have of getting him. Its all good was never a win now prospect anyway and getting him late teens would be a steal.
I think he's got this under control. He wants to get to Utah with the Minnesota pick and sees he needs to lower his stock after the trade deadline. 4D chess.
All he needs to do is sit there gracefully and let South Carolina take their Ls. Losing by less than 15 points is more or less a moral victory for that team. Think they only have like 5 games left at this point.

He's trending towards getting there with the Philly pick.
I think he'll kill it in workouts and be in the lottery. But he's going to get pushed in interviews about what's happening at SC. He needs to interview well and not look like he's a clueless 18 year-old. He needs a good agency.
South Carolina isnt any worse when they bench GG.
Given the fact he went to a school that was bad so he could get minutes, I doubt he wants to get drafted by a NBA franchise that will be hard on him. If Hardy coached him like he does Sexton he might crumble.
This is Nick Smith in one of his more productive games. He's a guy whom I could see dropping a bit in the draft.

Tough to see him going lottery in a strong lottery class. Still think he could go in the teens to a team willing to gamble, but there isnt some insane level of talent there. We got Emoni Bates 2.0 without a gun charge. I'd rank Emoni's talent over GG's tbh.
