Better than CJ Miles = MJ

Let's take it a step further...

Trade up in the draft to take an undersized one dimensional back court player? Check

Draft a moderately athletic big, who is flying under nobody's radar, 4 to 8 picks too high? Check.

Comps are pretty solid. Please log out of life.

Speaking of MJ... He still thinks your comparisons are quite a stretch.

I think the Knicks drafting the french guard is a mistake, Dennis Smith Jr was the sure thing in my opinion. Knicks fans acting like it's the perfect pick during the draft when in fact Smith jr was the correct pick.

I really want to see him in SL at least. I think he's gonna light it up. (go to the link above, there is a video of him shooting 3s... he drained like... 18 in a row. Literally IN A ROW)
 
The Warriors spent 3.5 million to draft Jordan Bell.

I guess that give some credence to those of us who really liked him.

Kinda concerns me a little bit on DM's feel for the game. He sure has the tools to be an elite on ball defender, but needs to improve his defensive awareness as he was often caught ball watching and lost track of his man.
 
Did anyone hear the Josh Jackson/Boston story? Ainge, Stevens, and some other coaches all got on a plane to Sacramento from Bostn for a workout with Josh Jackson but he cancelled it while they all in the middle of the flight.

Ainge said something like he had to get up at 4 AM to fly back too.

Smart move by Jackson.
1. Goes to a warm climate.
2. Gets playing time right away
3. Didn't have to worry about whether he'd be in Boston, traded to Chicago, Indiana, New York, etc.
4. Or maybe he stays and Boston STILL gets Hayward. Jackson is then a sub?

This is kind of like Ball only wanting to workout for LA. Jackson knew he'd piss off Ainge and the Celtics and then likely just drop 1 spot.
 
Found this quote. Apparently Phoenix was behind Jackson cancelling the workout.


The Phoenix Suns, who ended up drafting the former Kansas star, may have had something to do with it, but aren't saying what.

"You guys know my connection to the Boston Celtics and the respect I have for Danny Ainge, but you guys also know how competitive I am and it is a competition," Suns general manager Ryan McDonough said Friday without elaborating much more. "The process is what it is and we played by the rules, I guess. I'm just thrilled Josh Jackson is sitting next to me and is a member of the Phoenix Suns."

I hate Ainge, so I'm glad he got schooled. I don't know what it is about him, but every time I see his smug, pouty face, I just want to punch him in the mouth.

We'll know if he got schooled in about 3 years.
