Jarrett Jack to Hawks

[mrhonline]

He was playing pretty terribly before his injury, so I wouldn't expect much from him.  But for the minimum and with two other good options on the roster, it's a good signing.

He'll probably take the Hinrich role of only playing when Bud's pissed off with Schröder and Delaney 

Jack is still a good player ... He is a solid backup and until / if Delaney proves he is better then Jack will still be a great presence for the locker room

I wouldn't be so sure that Jack is going to be ready....ACL injury recovery is 6 to 12 months.

This to me puts confidence in Delaney.

That does sound more like it, but I would suppose it's something that varies from patient to patient depending on the severity.

Except Jack may not be ready for the start of next season. He's being brought in purely to be a clubhouse/bench veteran guy unless he's ahead of schedule.

And Delaney is the backup PG.

I'd say that's debatable.  Diehard Nets' fans hated him, FWIW.  At this price, he's about as good as you're going to do.

That's fine ... He can help our two young point guards behind the scenes  until he can play

Gotcha, thanks for correcting. Hopefully he is closer to 6 months than 12 months. If we can hope for somewhere in between the 6-12 month recovery time it puts us mid-October.

At the VetMin minimum?

I'll drink to that!

I doubt he's teady to start the season. Still a good locker room guy.

I would be surprised if Jack is playing before Christmas.  ACL is no joke, especially for an older ball player.

Good pick up.  Hope he heals well! 

Hope he gets the last laugh as well!

Oh, and GO JACKETS!

He didn't shoot that great last year, but he posted solid numbers otherwise. I think he is good enough as a backup, but  32MPG is obviously too much for him.

FG%-wise.... yes. 13 points, 7.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals are solid numbers for a backup PG... especially for the minimum.  Jack is usually a 42-45% FG guy and i'm sure Bud will put him in the best situations for him to score efficiently.

Finally, a move that brought a smile to my face.  I love 200 lb PGs, and I didn't know he was from Baltimore.  Those guys almost always have an edge.  He's gonna be great for keeping Dennis in line and on task.  And at 32 there is much room for his game to grow under Bud.

Everybody knew he was coming to the Hawks. He's a pest for other teams especially late in games.

Very pleased we have JJack...it's an easy name to type for the chatroom .  (shift JJ then over to the left for the "a"...across and low for the "c" and then finish to the right for the "k").

...if he can play some ball that would be a bonus too !!!
