Sanogo with a fast break dunk on Jackson

hawkins won't be playing in the scrimmage. projected first-rounders have been choosing to sit it out.Is Hawkins playing now?
Yet, the people who get paid and have actual jobs to scout, evaluate and draft NBA players ARE USING THIS DRILL TO ASSESS HIS ABILITIES.
They can still sit out the 5v5s going forward, just not anything else.hawkins won't be playing in the scrimmage. projected first-rounders have been choosing to sit it out.
that will change next year with the new CBA, though.
Like Mitchell Robinson's free throws ? I guess the Knicks can't be bothered to try and fix it, or somethingSome are acting like he’s got an unfixable shot. There have been plenty of recent cases of players that just could not figure it out or have struggled to figure it out (Fultz, Simmons the most famous). All I’m saying is I think he’s starting from a place that’s a heck of a lot better than where the Ball brothers were and the kid is a workaholic.
Because one half of the Boneyard understands the kind of player Andre is, what his strengths and weaknesses actually are. The other half fancies themselves amateur NBA GMs making decisions based on one combine drillWe seem to be pretty torn here:
1/2 the BY thinks he killed it.
Other half thinks he left more to be desired.
"Good and terrible"
Sounds odd to say, but it has been said about a lot of NFL / NBA combine stats over the years - Andre clearly has greater in-game athleticism, vertical leap ability than measured in such a clinical setting. Or maybe its the speed and quickness combined with the leaping ability, moreso than stationary vertical.It's pretty wild Jackson has the same max vert as Kemba and Pat Connaughton's max vert is 4.5 inches higher than Andre's.
jackson's impact didn't translate to the box score. sanogo's sure did, though.
He dominants whoever he plays. He is strong and people don’t fully appreciate how quick his feet are for a guy his size. Also has great hands.I'd like to see Adama against seasoned pros because he just dominates college players
Maybe the team that’s fallen in love with him told him to make his jump height look less gaudy so they have a better chance of getting him at their draft pick spot!Of course, he's always the most athletic guy on the court, that's why that number is so weird. I don't even know how it works, I assumed they give you multiple jumps and take the top jump. Maybe it's just one jump now and he slipped.

Hard to argue if he’s getting late first, early second type attention. Hope he gets some minutes somewhere because I love to watch him play.UConn’s Andre Jackson on his future: ‘I’m probably going to be out;’ more NBA Draft Combine notes
Andre Jackson hinted that he’s leaning towards leaving UConn while at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, where he took the floor against former teammate Adama Sanogo.www.courant.com
foot on the line, ruled a two.I thought I saw him hit a 3.
