Lurker Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) I don't think Frank Jackson is going to be a PG in the NBA. I think he could develop enough to where he could run it, but it'd be purely as a combo. I do think he could be a very good two way player as a small SG, but just like a guy I've quoted in Gary Harris in comparison with him, the odds of him actually being ready for his first NBA season are not very good. Actually if he could develop his PG skills, he could be quite close to the type of PG that Bud likes, even closer than Dennis is. He's a very explosive athlete and his form on his jumper is very good. Edited May 19, 2017 by Lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBac Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) We also met with Jordan Bell who isnt on that list for whatever reason http://www.csnnw.com/oregon-ducks/oregons-jordan-bell-looking-right-fit-much-high-pick-nba-draft Jordan Bell is gonna be a fan favorite wherever he goes. I'd love for it to be here. * Jarrett Allen, Texas, Center * Jawun Evans, Oklahoma State, Point Guard * Frank Jackson, Duke, Point Guard * Harry Giles, Duke, Center * Donovan Mitchell, Louisville, Shooting Guard * Caleb Swanigan, Purdue, Power Forward * Justin Patton, Creighton, Center I like these Edited May 19, 2017 by DBac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted May 19, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I really think at 31 we should be looking hard at Tony Bradly ... if he goes back to college he is a potential lottery pick next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted May 19, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Frank Johnson isn't really a point guard and he is too small to be a shooting guard ... no thanks If Giles is healthy he could be special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post benhillboy Posted May 19, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I envy folks who can closely follow the league and college. I cannot. I'll take yalls word if you think your guy is the right selection if taken then throw this thread up in your face when he turns out to be a bum. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 If Tony Bradley is staying there is a reason and that reason is he's been given a first round guarantee (I think he has, as while it hasn't been confirmed with the agent word around the block is unless he has a change of heart he's staying in the draft). And I have exceptions to the rule sometimes on short SGs, and BOTH Mitchell/Jackson fit that rule. They're athletically gifted which could cover some of it up.

He was number one player coming into college ... he was injured and when he came back to school it was hard for him to find a role. I think it was a mistake for him to come out and he should've went back to college to show what he can do ... He has measured off the charts at the combine and his skill set is supposed to be comparable to Webber. For me the injury part is what scares me about him.

Lurker Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 There's a point in time in which risks may need to be taken and the Hawks are at that time. That should not include taking guys that have foot/knee issues as a teenager. Duke has problems developing big men, but Giles tested badly at the combine, which tells me his confidence is totally shot. I don't think he's going to be back to what he was. If he even does get back to it, he'll probably go "Greg Oden" on some team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because their commentary is better than the real NBA and I'm not an 87 year old white man so I can't do baseball.

h4wkfan Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Frank Jackson at 31 would be a great pickup for a backup point / combo guard. Under the bud system of learning he would be a pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't put much stock into high school rankings that are largely effected by how much your AAU team pushes you onto the services. I put more stock into actual play, and Giles was an abject disaster as a freshman at Duke. At best, you may have a rotational player by year 4 of his career. I am not high on this freshman class at all. I think Fultz, Zach Collins, and Lauri Markkanen are the best of this freshman group, and the fact that Fultz couldn't lead his team to the NCAA tournament is a red flag on him.

CP61 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Watch out for Jonah Bolden. He's 6'10 with a 7'4 wingspan, is a great athlete, and can shoot. Could be an absolute STEAL at 31 or even at 19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
