Jackson is a big loss on the defensive end. This team was kind of comprised with the expectation he would play 35 minutes

And which game(s) do you figure that that is going to risk us losing?

One poster had 3 posts in this thread with his name spelled Newtown, which is what I was responding to. So I guess there's somebody who thought that was his name. Although he did respond and said it was from autocorrect on his phone. Or is that not what you meant?

I hope we get Samson's name correctly. This is for the older folk.

Jackson is the straw that stirs the drink with this team.. His energy and disruptive/innovative skills are unique.. The good news about this year's team (pre PKI and BE) ..Is that we have talented depth that we haven't had in the Hurley years before--So.. we can compensate-temporarily-for his absence.

Props to @Vuce

Three strides to get 3/4 down the court.

I think we might count strides differently, lol. I count 7 from the time he grabbed the ball.

Well we have seen a lot of posts with his name as Sampson. I suspect that will go away with time. Then again we still have people calling Rashad Anderson Rashard, so maybe not.

I think I’m more worried about rust or tentativeness if anything. But he probably won’t lose us any games on his own.

DC is young and raw, but he's going to be a lot of fun to watch here

The steals and blocks would be ridiculous, but he should 100% be averaging 10-7-4.

I hope I am wrong, but‘s lets see if he meets these goals. I don‘t think his shooting technique is where its needs to be and I saw him beat off the dribble last year on D. He is a good player with crazy athleticism, but there are some Challenges. Again, I would be happy to be wrong,

IMO.. The team has enough scorers/shooters.. AJ brings the energy/ disruption/leadership.. We'll see.. I think he's gone after this year.
