Yeah, but will he be more interested in basketball or banging a Jenner?

Brook, Vet
Giannis, Bobby
Kris, Pat, Crowder
Marjon, Grayson, Jackson
Jrue, Carter

Let’s do this! Not the direction I would have gone, but there is enough for a chip there if Giannis and Jrue stop doing dumb sh’t.

Mentioned few weeks back that with Griffin being known as a defensive ace and player development guy, I wanted to get him explosive, defensive minded players to mold and work with, and I see Jackson as one of those dudes. Obviously you wish the shot was better but that’s why he’s available at 36.

Our guys (who supposedly can shoot) can't shoot in the playoffs anyways, so I'd rather get a guy who does the other stuff our guys can't do. Let's hope this is a good one!

Watching his highlights, he looks the part of NBA player. High bbiq, athletic, can pass.

Are we sure he can’t shoot? Or is he just a high IQ player with an ugly shot that just chose to make smarter plays rather than force shots? I mean there’s a huge difference here.. he certainly was no chucker and his shot chart is ugly looking but the volume is almost non existent. Are we certain “he can’t shoot” is actually a fair assessment?

But does he dip the waffles into the syrup prior to eating or does he pour the syrup on the waffle before cutting?

There is only one right answer.


I was picturing someone dipping full waffles into a vat of maple syrup, like they used to do with hot dogs and secret stadium sauce back at County stadium.

Now I want to try that. For the culture.

Over the years I've discovered that guys who cry on camera when they get drafted usually don't pan out. I was happy to see that AJJ did not cry.

Going to be unplayable unless he develops a shot.

Jackson has been one of the best (and most efficient) players in this NCAA Tournament, racking up 31 assists and with only six turnovers. He’s averaged just 7.8 points but with a solid 53.4 effective FG percentage. And with Jackson on the floor, UConn is scoring 1.22 points per possession in four tourney games, per hooplens.com. That’s a higher efficiency than any offense in college basketball this season.
