Andre's Consecutive Blocks...

[Greathusky]

I do not have a video to show but you need to see Andre's two blocks on this Walton kid in last nights Vegas game. The Bucks bench all stood up in awe. On block 1, Andre was beat on the drive but recovered to block the layup. Shortly afterward on block 2, he stopped Walton from an easy breakaway dunk.

I felt like a proud Dad watching him!

Agree! The video is in the NBA Summer League thread.

Coach Griffen's post-game comment about Andre's back-to-back blocks.. "Some things you can't teach."

Does anyone know how to find the Top 10 on a daily basis? Like is it on YouTube or ESPN+?

Not taking anything away but…What the hell was that first layup attempt?

 

[Devland]

With 9 points and 8 fouls, he was 1 point and 2 fouls away from a double-double.

There was this too

And after those blocks the Bucks immediately locked him up (NBA contract, not a 2 way): Bucks Sign Second-Rounder Andre Jackson Jr.

He is going to find a way to earn himself a spot on that roster. Once he gets more accustomed to the speed of some of the bigger players and gets coached up a bit more on player tendencies based on their position on the floor I see him as a Marcus Smart but bigger level defender. Andre is going to be fine.

There you go two way contract already. So NIL money lost has already been recovered good for him.

I thought the same thing. It was a horrible layup attempt bringing it back to the right hand and a fade away to boot after you had a step on him. That second block was spectacular.

Not a 2 way.

If I’m understanding the new CBA rules on second round picks, Andre’s contract is likely either 3 years for just under 6 million, or 4 years for just under 9 million.

All it took was 1 game for the Bucks to realize his value. It was the prototypical Andre Jackson game. Some bad fouls, some questionable decisions, but at the end of the day he made the plays that helped win the game. Well deserved!

He had another tremendous block in the first half not in the box and his on ball defense caused 4-5 turnovers / bad shot turnovers.

From the article:

While the terms of the deal were not disclosed, Jackson is not listed as having inked a two-way contract on NBA.com’s official transaction log, which suggests Milwaukee signed him to a standard contract, likely using the new second-round pick exception.

Yeah we'll wait to see what the guarantees are for Andre, but the Bucks invested 2.5 mil into his rights, so he's bound to get some guaranteed money. We'll see if it's 2,3, or unlikely 4 years guaranteed.

Probably a 4 year deal with only the first 2 guaranteed. That seems pretty common for second round picks these days

The dude is fun to watch. He’s worth every penny of his contract based on entertainment-value alone.

I’m sure with the extra allowed fouls, the coaches probably told him to go ham out there…take risks for high reward plays…why the heck not? It’s just Summer League

A true student of the game would tell you that Bill Russell did this numerous times AND had the BBIQ to know to tip the ball to his teammate every time.
