Jackson is so good…

[Captbluefin]

AJ has been much better at making good decision with the ball. That was always my issue with him.

I give him credit he has worked hard cleaned it up.

Jackson also thrives when he's surrounded by players who can do something with his brilliant passes.

That might have been part of his decision making improvement.

Hair kind of reminds me of Jimi Hendrix.. The Jimi Hendrix (Andre Jackson) Experience.. Purple Haze lyric.."Scuse me while I kiss the sky"

Oh! That's what he's saying! All these years I thought Jimi Hendrix was gay.

I feel pretty confident at this point that he will either be a draft pick this year or he will come back and be an all american so either way it will help the program

He’s been showing up on several mock draft boards already. His stock should only climb as the year goes on.

I think at year end he will have a choice to make in terms of going to the draft and being a second round pick or staying. Hopefully with NIL money he thinks that uconn and the g league are comparable financially so he comes back to try to get into the first round. We gotta get the boneyard fund off the ground to keep him around

if he keeps working on his offense, he'll be a sure fire draft pick, likely first round. NBA scouts on twitter keep raving about him.

While he passes more, Action Jackson reminds me of a more polished and consistent Sticks. RIP Mr. Sticks, one of our favorites

Reminds me a bit of Andre Iguodola

 

[Palatine]

He reminds me of Spider-Man.

Dre's gifts from the spider bite include enhanced strength, stamina, and agility, as well as the ability to cling to nearly any surface by his hands and feet, and an internal “alarm” of sorts that warns him of impending danger.

As more people see him play in person. Like Seth Greenberg in another thread.

1. Start with Jason Kidd
2. Add leaping ability
3. Add a desire to rip your heart out on defense

Andre Jackson

J. Kidd was an all-star in the league for 10 years before he learned how to shoot. Any team who does not draft AJ when they have a chance will regret it for a long time.

Love both these players but outside of leaping ability, they really could not be more different players, including playing totally different positions.

It's amazing what a difference in teammates makes. Jackson kind of drove me nuts last year. His athleticism, hustle, motor, etc, can't be questioned. His actual basketball skills can. Last year, as a super athlete on a team with too many non-scorers, he was just a freakish athlete. This year, on a team that can score in so many ways, everything that he does well is extremely valuable. It's similar to Draymond Greene at his best, on the Warriors he's an absolute beast. Put him on the Knicks and he would look like an average hustle player.

I think he will continue to develop his skills and become a great basketball player. He needs to be able to finish to the rim and pull up and shoot occasionally. Currently, when he puts the ball on the floor, he passes 90% of the time, actually gets to the rim 5% of the time, and pulls up for a shot 5% of the time. I was so frustrated last year at one point that I actually kept a tally one game, and it was right around that. With the strength and athleticism that he has, he should be able to get to the rim off the dribble more.

He's invaluable to the team now, and I'm looking forward to him developing his game more.

No dude! You've got it wrong.. That song is about his love for women and other things.. Gotta check it out sometime

Love AJ's game but JKidd was a generational passer/pt guard, can't put AJ in that convo

Hurley called him "a stuntman" in the post game. That fits his style of play perfectly!

Wow.. Never heard of the @imno1 reference/@GetaJob reference to Jimi's classic song.. Trying to throw a positive vibe on AJax and it bites me in the butt.. Who knew? Not me.

It's ok. I'm still wondering who Leslie is in the Rascals' "Groovin" and how a song about a threesome got past the censors in the 60s

A conundrum-To say the least

BTW..My original response to @Get a Job starting with "No dude..." was said facetiously.. And perhaps over someone else's head.. But I'll fall on the sword and take the hit

Happy to see someone else on this train with me.

He’s basically the Warriors version of him on this team.
