Game just started
Good stuff from AJ, and another nice feature on Hawk at halftime. Lots of UConn ....
They aren’t guarding him 10’ from the basket. He’s got a way to go.He looks really good. From the limited sample. Hit a 3, caught an alley oop and forced a turnover in a 2 minute window. He could be the surprise of the draft. Ah, and we wanted to bench him.

He still needs to develop a mid-range shot besides that ugly floater he does. He would be money if he had that midrange to go with his dribbling, rebounding and defense.They aren’t guarding him 10’ from the basket. He’s got a way to go.
Yup, we know. Hope he works it out. Really hoped he’d be back for #6.He still needs to develop a mid-range shot besides that ugly floater he does. He would be money if he had that midrange to go with his dribbling, rebounding and defense.
“We”?He looks really good. From the limited sample. Hit a 3, caught an alley oop and forced a turnover in a 2 minute window. He could be the surprise of the draft. Ah, and we wanted to bench him.
That's... not great. If that's accurate that's less guaranteed than Chris Livingston their last pick got.Andre Jackson Jr. | NBA Contracts & Salaries | Spotrac.com

2.06 mil guaranteed. Y1 fully, Y2 partially.
Its close. According to that site, Livingston got 3 guaranteed.That's... not great. If that's accurate that's less guaranteed than Chris Livingston their last pick got.

It's also only getting one year fully guaranteed. It's going to be hard for him to stick in the league if he doesn't have a guaranteed roster spot, because teams are less likely to invest minutes in you. It really puts pressure on him to contribute this year.Its close. According to that site, Livingston got 3 guaranteed.
They both got about 7m/4years with 2-3 guaranteed. But you're right that something seems off. I wouldnt be surprised if Spotrac made a mistake.
Yeah but he wasn't projected to be a top 40 pick either. He was like consensus late '40s, behind Sanogo.Livingston being the last pick is a bit misleading when comparing contracts, he shut down all workouts a few weeks before the draft because he'd already agreed to a contract behind the scenes. The Bucks basically just floated him down to their last pick
I don’t think so Sanogo was the biggest up hill battle . The scouts hated him of course , he doesn’t check the right boxes for todays NBA and those guy are box checkers to the max but he impressed enough coaches to get a buzz. With Jackson the question was not if but where . Incredible athlete who sees the floor like few and is an elite passer. Skills more appreciated today. His handle is above average for a guy that can transition to rim protection. People who passed on him will regret it .Yeah but he wasn't projected to be a top 40 pick either.

To me he was a lock for that type of open floor NBA even more so than the college game .
I believe both got almost identical deals as part of the the new nba 2nd round agreement. The difference we see I think is Ajax having his second year option partially guaranteed and Livingston’s is fully guaranteed.That's... not great. If that's accurate that's less guaranteed than Chris Livingston their last pick got.
