Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 4175001, member: 1609"] Jackson in that open NBA game is going to be a force. I said that last year. I haven’t changed my mind. Court vision and a sense the action is slowed are not teachable gifts. Although comparing players to generational players is unfair. Modeling your game after one is not . He is reminiscent of a young Magic Johnson . Magic had a command of the team akin to Khalid but had wing size. That maturity is rare in college players. At least at this stage Jackson does not yet have that grasp ,which is why I would beg him to comeback if he wants to be top 5 and a foundational player. Drafting a good player is great but drafting a player capable of making his teammates better also, is rare. I’ve been around BB for over 60 years and have seen all the greats and usually roll my eyes at BY hyperbole.? Laying those kind comparison on kids who are still developing skills is not something I like to do.Simply because other factors can hinder or ever curtail that development. That’s not a caveat but it is real world. [/QUOTE]
