Are we sleeping on v. Jackson?

I was referring to Giffey, not Jackson, sorry. And I was also joking.

Gotcha

It was a white men can't jump joke. You learned copy and paste, we will teach you about jokes and the greatness of Selvie next.

whatever super

After the Sam Cassell era I don't want to jump out the window over exhibition games but dude seems too smart, skilled, and confident to not at the very least max out as a plus role player offensively, ala Niels his senior year. I think getting from the perimeter to the rim is always gonna be a challenge for him off the dribble but he should be able to feast off of kick outs, pick and slips, and 1-2 dribble pull ups. I think it was @champs99and04 who mentioned Christian Watford of Indiana as a comp and I can see that, probably Southerland from Cuse on the lower end.

@aceboon not only is he potentially the best shooter on the team, he is 6'8 over 230 and an adept passer. he should be a shoe in for a ton of minutes, unless he is just a disaster on defense to start the season (entirely possible, there is a reason scjr was excellent in the exhibitions, he was facing worst athletes).

Ok we're up now Vanceeeee

One thing I noticed is that he has long arms and expect he will rebound. His dribble looked OK. The other thing was how quickly he unloaded his shot. Once when covered he quickly moved laterally to get it off and that was good because some players need to be open by a lot to want to shoot, not him. Right now we need 3 point shooters to come through and in my mind Larrier, Alterique and Jalen have got to be a threat because Jackson and Rodney will be covered well. It's one exhibition game but I'm reminded of the first time I saw Donyell and the quality of him as a shooter. Knew it right away, and with Vance it looks that way.

Eh, Rashad couldn't really get to the tin either. As long as he knows his role, and how to fill it, he'll be good.

I agree, he looks like a pure shooter.
