Message: [QUOTE="Beowulf, post: 4303282, member: 4087"] yeah i'm not really sure why anytime someone is an undersized 4 and can't shoot they have to have a draymond comp. what draymond does defensively is generational and what he does on offense is a blend of his own insane iq mixed with two of the best shooters ever, who also move off the ball in cohesion like something we've rarely if ever seen before. At this juncture, draymond is all around better than jackson obviously. he sort of started piecing it all together his junior year when he was handed a little more responsibility on those michigan st teams...similar to what we should see with jackson this year. jackson does have a little knack for anticipatory passing that draymond shows off for his buddies klay and steph, but obvi on a much smaller scale....and it certainly doesn't help that uconn last year wasn't a very great at "catching" some of these passes. there are certainly times when jackson outkicks his coverage with some of his passes...gotta know your personnel. 1-4, it shouldn't matter. Jackson just needs to have some touches and stay on the floor. let him run a little, let him use his vision, let him use his size to go at smaller guards and speed to go at 4s trying to guard him. we just have to live with some turnovers. surround him with 3 shooters and sanogo is probably the best way to maximize what he can do. there really aren't too many 4s that aren't going to big boi him as someone mentioned above...those days are over. he might be outsized every now and then but sanogo/johnson/clingan should be able to assist on the help side. more than anything i'm curious to see the jump shot growth. it was nice seeing him knock down 37% on what were basically set shots....hope he can build on it. if newton/alleyne/hawkins shoot as advertised, he should be seeing a LOT of draymond-esque wide open threes [/QUOTE]
