when you foul every time down the court they cant call it all :mjlol: some of these are egregious.
the one shot with the inconclusive angle....a mid range jumpshot by kp aint gonna be an airball unless he's fouled
kp might need to pull a harden and lock players arms in when they reach :mjlol: unfortunately.
when your jumper is unblockable at 7'3 and you literally shoot over people you just get fouled more and more...compared to other big men.
all the big men shooters never stood right through nba defenders and shot over them...so refs are so not used to this they probably dont know how to call it.
all the best big men shooters...especially in the midrange all used fadeaway shots...dirk, kg, lamarcus....all utilize fadeaways(with high releases above or near their heads) so their form cant be effected without an overt foul call.
KP is just going up with a regular ass jumpshot and defenders cant go up to block it so they just jam his arms and it seems to be much easier to get away with

I can't imagine the Knicks grabbing a top 5 pick anymore, but if they end up with a pick anywhere from 6-10, then Jaren Jackson Jr is the guy to draft.

There aren't any good breakdown or highlight videos on the guy, but here's a breakdown from a mock draft the Ringer posted that I thought was pretty good.

Jaren Jackson Jr. is a rare big man who needs no astral projection to see into his 3-and-D future. He’s already proficient in both areas. Jackson is shooting 43.5 percent from 3 on 2.7 attempts per game (which, in fairness, was fortified by a 5-of-6 outing against Maryland), and his 14 percent block rate is second behind only Bamba among projected lottery talents.

His skills suggest top-five potential, though he doesn’t appear to have the instincts of a high-level creator, either for himself or others. His upside might not be that of Bagley’s or Ayton’s, but there is a serious demand for players of his ilk, even if his role never expands beyond what it is now. In theory, he combines the two halves of Serge Ibaka’s career into a single player—the first five seasons as a shot-blocking dynamo, and the past four as a dependable long-range threat who plays solid position defense. He’s the perfect player for the Bulls as they begin to consolidate their frontline of the future, which is almost completely devoid of rim protection.

edit:


he probably won't ever be a guy who can create his own shot consistently, but if KP ever becomes a center full time, I'm more concerned with finding a guy who rebound, defend and stretch the floor to pair with him.
