Jackson vs Kolek

Idk why this thread is about Andres nba prospects now. We know he’s coming back, let’s just enjoy the ride.

You can't stop good players totally (usually), so you take away their best weapon. We took away Kolek's best weapon--his passing. That's excellent game-planning. Whoever had the scout last night deserves a bonus; that was well done.

Believe it was Luke Murray, I think Raftery said something about it during the 2nd half

LOL at people comparing him to an NBA hall of fame top 5 PG in history.

I always roll my eyes at these types of comments. Someone makes a comparison of styles and, like clockwork, you can count on someone to chime in with "how can you compare him with [fill in all time great]?" Yeah, nobody's saying he's as good as John Stockton.

Raftery was a trooper last night.

When they started the broadcast it sounded like his voice was already toasted. Made it through somehow but his throat definitely deserved to enjoy the post-game libations.

Kolek is Marcus Williams without as good a supporting cast. Better?

Ok, then I'd say the style comment isn't really a good one either. Stockton was quicker and a much better ball handler, defender and scorer at Gonzaga. I don't know why we always have these comps anyway. He's himself, that should be enough.

I pinky promise the last thing front offices are worried about is his lack of a mid-range jumper.

I mean, yes, except what it says about his shooting ability more generally.

Fair enough, and probably accurate. Stockton was smaller and quicker. If we want to make style comparisons, Kolek is what Doug Gottlieb could have been with a jump shot.

Saw him at Ted’s one night. Cheers-ed with him. Great night
