Article: Why Hornets Should Draft Andre Jackson, Jr

It blows. I’ll die on that hill.

Cool, less people on the best mountains on the entire east coast then. Perfect

I think Jackson has the attributes and mindset to fill in much of Draymond Green's role if the Warriors decide not to pay Him what he'll like ask for. Can guard the 3 or a small 4 on the perimeter, rebound on the 1st and 2nd level, and run the offense without being asked to shoot too much.

Nets like to develop guys, but they also already have a non shooter in Ben Simmons meaning they could be looking at Andre as a long term project and building him up in g league

While I agree NC mountains are beautiful, I would argue that Vermont's mountains are as, or perhaps more, beautiful!

I think they are done with Simmons

Somehow people still believe in the franchise tanking players talent myth. It’s like talking to your buddy who says NFL teams shouldn’t draft the QB from X college because they never had anyone succeed in the NFL.

Qbs from X college isn’t a good analogy and that was always a stupid myth. Comparing the Browns to the Hornets is more accurate.

Yep. If the Pistons, Knicks, Net's, Wizards, Magic or Hawks had drafted the same UConn players we'd hear the same crap about how they are a horrible franchise, etc.

All have had more success then the Hornets.

A lot of debate on that….I personally think they wait one more season and then see if he’s moveable as an expiring. Doubt they attach assets just to move him

I now live close to Chatlotte. He gets drafted here, I will go to my first Hornets game decked out in my UCONN gear. Still won't go to see the Hurricanes though.
