In MKG's rookie year he shot 27% from 3-10 feet, 14% from 10-16 feet, 30% from 16-23 feet and 22% from 3. Jackson will beat those numbers in all categories this year, and I imagine he'll have more attempts.SDC wrote:just because shaq shot 60% from the field many times in his career doesnt mean he can shoot, and by "shoot" i mean shoot from outside.In2ition wrote:Yeah, we all agree that he needs to improve his shooting, but you said that he is worse in every shooting category than MKG was when he came out of Kentucky. I didn't refute it at first, because I assumed you were comparing stats. I certainly didn't think you were comparing shooting form. It just didn't sound right to me, so I looked up the stats myself and it turned out that Jackson was better at everything except free throw shooting. Using your elementary math skills, explain how Jackson is worse at "EVERYTHING" than MKG was coming out. If you have the data, back up your claim. It should be easy to prove if you are so convinced that is the case.SDC wrote:okay, how about practicing some civility and respect in this forum. just because you disagree doesnt mean you personally attack.Aztec Sunsfan wrote:I know!Superbone wrote: Agreed.

I was having a politically incorrect laugh out of all of this (my reading is far more advanced than my writing so I usually only read this kind of exchanges, afraid to write something wrong), then suddenly it morphed into some "Are you looking to me? -drunk-in-a-bar" kind of thing, I had to unblock SDC's comments and saw why the mood changed so fast. For someone that likes to stir the pot almost on every post he writes, he has an incredibly thin skin.
Now the joke is over, we should shoot it out of mercy...
it's still a fact that josh jackson cant shoot. that's data for you ( if you know your elementary level math.)
i was hoping justise winslow's 3pt shooting percentage and FG% in college (and not his FT%) would translate to the nba, but it didnt.
you say it's only his FT shooting taht is deficient, but he's shooting it at a 56 percent rate.
before the draft, i was hoping the boy wonder would draft tatum instead. since jackson is here, i hope he finds a shot doctor and i wish him the best. honestly, i dont think he will move the needle, but i hope i'm wrong.
MKG has turned into an ok mid range threat, he shot 35%and 37% the last two full years from 16-23 feet, but he's still an abysmal shooter from 3. 20% for his career.
Does your argument have anything other than Jackson shot 56% from the FT line?
