Deandre Fox IS 6’3. If somehow he can squeeze out 3 more inches, this kid is going to be something special. His fundamentals, speed, explosiveness is there, with more height and once he fills out his frame; going to be hard to stop.

All this drip on me
I liked what I saw out of Josh Jackson, his motor and basketball IQ showed.

With that said, that man Dennis Smith was going at Josh Jackson like he ain't respect the 'potential elite defender' label people put on Jackson pre-draft.:wow:

You could see that Westbrookian dog in DSJ's eyes anytime he had the ball in his hands and a defender was on him in space. His 1st step explosion lives up to the hype.

Josh Jackson really do miss that same dunk a lot...

Josh seems to be getting less explosive as he ages.


After the Suns drafted him, I went back and watched all his YouTube vids.


Starting in high school.


To me, he looked more explosive during his Sophomore/Jr yr of HS


It's like his athleticism went from level 9-10 to level 7-8.


He's still above average, but seems destined to be more of a "cerebral" player.


His IQ/"feel for the game" is off the charts, tho.That's what'll make him an All Star


Watching him up close, he sorta kinda reminds me of a right handed Lamar Odom

Marquese Chriss has nowhere near the strength Amare possessed at the same age.


That's his main problem.Narrow shoulders, can't absorb contact, and butter fingers.


3 areas in which Amare was the exact opposite...Extreme opposite.


Amare came into the league bodying vets.Had hands like Chris Webber.


Impervious to lil reach in's/swipes.


Chriss looks like Sonic losing his coins at the slightest bit of contact.


15 to's in 2 SL games so far.If you double him in the post, it's an automatic turnover

Based on that writeup he probably should remind you more of Iguodala moreso than Odom, which is a fair comparison. Jackson is definitely a blank canvas compared to everyone else in the lottery, he can be molded into whatever you need him to be. He's going to be loved by advanced analytics junkies
