Andre Jackson goes #36 to Milwaukee Buck (via Orlando)

[AdamaNation]

Woj just mentioned that Andre was red-flagged medically for past injuries, including meniscus injuries. Hadn't heard that previously.

Regardless, so happy for Andre! Will be fun to root for him with Giannis & co on a really good team.

Best chance for another husky ring. It’s been a long time since we had a husky with an nba title. Ray in 14?

Apostolos Roumoglou or Andrea Hurley can teach JJ some Greek to break the ice with Giannis

I envision JJ at a Marquette/UConn game in the future.

2023 NBA Draft Thread

If AJ goes 2nd Round, did he make the wrong decision? Hard to think not. He'd have been a Top 15 next year. I'm really hoping he goes 1st Round to make that irrelevant. If you think he was a top 15 pick next year, I have a trip to see the titanic for $250k to sell you

On Hurley’s insta you can see that Donovan is there too next to Jackson.

What a great night!

Let’s go Adama!

Diarra, Andre Johnson & Newton are there too

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Andre will be playing for Aubrey Griffin's father.

Dan Hurley’s Seton Hall teammate, long-term NBA player Adrian Griffin, will be coaching Jackson.

Congrats Andre!! Hoping he can come into that second unit and inject some energy, get them running, and do the things that make him so great.

Hadn’t heard of knee issues for him before, but I feel like 75% of Andre’s explosiveness and athleticism is still better than most players’ 100% lol

CONGRATULATIONS ANDRE!!!!!!

How did we never hear about his knee injuries? AFAIK the only injury he had at UConn was the finger

Because it's none of our business.

 

[dennismenace]

They mentioned on the telecast that the Bucks see Andre as a potential leader of the second unit based on his experience, maturity and quality character.

Says a lot for Andre and Uconn coming in as a rookie

 

[HailUConn]

Yup, confirmed the Clingan was there for Andre! Is Alex somewhere?

 

[BrassBonanza]

Andre is going to make believers out of the Bucks and their fans - he is a winner and I'm excited to see him carve his path in the NBA

When he first got on campus as a freshman he was held out of practice for a bit because he was coming off meniscus surgery. It was reported on at the time.

Thank you. I vaguely remember that now

 

[J187Money]

I’m pumped. One of my favorite players going to my favorite team!! Time to get a Jackson jersey to hang next to my Giannis jersey.

He will get a chance to develop around some great teammates. Great situation.

 

[BuffaloHusky]

So proud of him and the culture he helped create here. I can't wait to see how his career evolves.

 

[uchusky32]

Congrats AJ! You're going to carve out a long career! You put in the effort.

 

[HailUConn]

I found this is a bit comical. Imagine Dre tells Bucks office that let’s give a contract to my team mate who destroyed Timme.

 

[The Viking]

Amazing that the fastest and best athlete on the court every game he played in was flagged for knee issues.
I’ll take those knee issues

 

[shakes65]

Did Andre qualify for a guaranteed contract and what is the estimated money situation? Dre is my guy here in the .Albany area.

 

[HailUConn]

The call, the hug, our young man Dre! Go out there and represent!

Woof, not even a two way. Have a blast in Europe, dawg.

 

[LIuconn]

Andre and Giannis is some serious athleticism together

 

[Fishy]

Wait a sec…Danny was at the draft, watched Hawkins get drafted and then teleported to Albany?

(Edit - no. Was not Albany.)
