A name I haven’t seen around here: Josh Jackson.
Yes, I realize he has sucked brutally in 4 NBA years. But he’s only 24. He was the 4th pick in the 2017 draft. He has the size and athleticism to live up to that potential. His body was made for the modern NBA. And at this point, he’s a low-risk bargain.
True, he can’t shoot. But what did Dorian’s shot look like 3 years ago at age 24?
True, he’s not technically available. But wouldn’t Detroit like to have hometown hero Trey Burke of UM/NCAA Tourney fame?
A super-athletic 6-8 wing with tons of upside sure seems like a guy who ought to be on our radar. Even if he’s been a disappointing youngster. And a future guard line up of Doncic, Green, Jackson could be fearsome. Add Doe-Doe and a modern center and we’re talking serious defensive flexibility.
I give this post two thumbs up.
