Vance Jackson appreciation thread

[husky429]

Of the healthy new players, who has more upside than a 6'8", skilled, sharpshooting Vance Jackson?

So between Jackson and vitale...

Answer is both are limited in upside which is actually good for us. They're likely to stay four years.

Upside is generally referring to size and athleticism ie. his upside if he develops skills. The best possible player he could be.

Vance will become an excellent player in my mind. He is crafty and has iq. But he and vitale both are earthbound which will limit their high level potential.

Still an awesome kid and player though don't get me wrong!! He could easily be a 15/5/3 type guy for us next season if he can start shooting well.

So, you are basically asking who has more upside between Vance and CV?

And Durham. I didn't ask anything though. I'm just clarifying what was an ignorant post by djct1999.

So when does he start taking Purvis's minutes?
If Purvis is not performing, this kid needs time to develop his game.

It's hard for players playing the 1, 2, and 3 to "steal" each other'sinutes because there's only 4 of them to begin with. 120 minutes spread between 4 players every game, and then you have to factor than Jackson will get minutes at the 4 as well. Everyone is going to have their minutes.

Purvis was playing in Jackson's position for major minutes.

Sharpshooting what? 32%, 30% from 3 and terrible form

You're really gonna beat this terrible form thing to death. His form got him a scholly to UCONN.

It's what he does. About everything.

What do you expect from the dude who made a thread complaining about the quality of play in the LLWS?

This is the type of season that will drive him off the ledge and then he'll reappear under a new username a week later, which is also his thing.

 

[JSM1970]

No, just saying his form is lousy right now and will be a problem against better defenders, he pushes from his chest. He'll just have to work on it.

Surprised the father complained yet never worked on that aspect.

I like the kid a lot and his longer term potential. I wonder if the father thought he was 1-n-dun and cashing NBA checks next year. Expectations a little inflated initially maybe.

What the hell do you have to do to get banned here? This guy is unbearable.

 

[JSM1970]

Umm, you ever read your posts. I second that.

[UConn990411]

Is it true that 40-Year Old Virgin was loosely based on JSM's life?

 

[RipCity]

Lmao you're a joke man, why even waste your time posting on a board full of people who can't stand you?

Feel free to find a single one of my posts that has ever gotten heat. Should be hard because I'm not a complete moron.

He already was, under the name husky91. He came back with a new account. Fishy and Tom let so much slide here (some of my posts included), the idea that someone who was insane enough to make them hit their tipping point thought he could waltz right back in is pretty ridiculous.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Agreed, need to see him used more inside out. Also would like to see him used flashing to foul line in the zone. He has the size and you want your guy flashing to the foul line to be able to shoot and pass both of which he can do. He had the best pass of the season on a wraparound pass to Brimah for a dunk.

This. He can flash, catch and shoot with coordination. An he's a good enough passer to kick the ball to the opposite wing or work the hi/low post game.

I used to post as Bush and once threatened to follow Tom around non-stop. He caught me one night when he was at the Hu Ke Lau in Chicopee. I was caught off-guard during "Tiny Bubbles" (love that song!!)

He banned me.

Speaking of posters taking on new names, where is Frank Ivy aka Prezidint aka whatever else he has called himself over the years? I liked a lot of his posts but I imagine he would have some sizzling takes this year.

 

[JSM1970]

haha, you're lost.

Not for the first time, I believe, but perhaps the last? (or not), he said goodbye in the middle of a thread and I don't think he's been heard from since. I thought he toned it down a lot and had a spot here, so to speak. I don't really recall the context of the goodbye, but there you have it as far as I know.

 

[RipCity]

haha, you're lost.

You have 1600 posts and 300 likes.

You're not just lost, you're on the spectrum.

He leaves every off season and comes back with a new handle once the games start. I couldn't stand his first iteration but grew to really like him as a poster. Hope all is well.

Lmao for those that have been talking bout Vance can eat a frank. I've seen them practice and with everyone healthy he is by far the most skilled. And defense is not a problem he stuck AG full court and kept him in front of him and on the offensive end he's a bucket whether it's a three pull up attack Finnish at the rim it don't matter he can get points filled. Not to mention his ability to pass is one of the best on the team th dimes he throw is crazy. Yes he has been shooting terrible from the field but that's ok he's goin through a slump which I'm pretty sure he's in the gym gettin ready for Cuse. There is nothing wrong with his shot he can get it off with no problem it's just that he plays smart I've been watching him play since 11th grade when he had to run pg at St. John bosco he is a force when he is in control. Me personally I feel that he's being limited for what he can do. They not making him play at his full ability. People question his dribble now but I'm telling you this man can dribble he kills in practice.
But with that being said I just got so annoyed with all yaw talking mess for no reason like yaw don't know what's real or the reality behind the scenes
