Nobody outside of a straightjacket thought that. But Jackson is still a good prospect.
Not true. I read that a few places.
Who had him above Fultz?
Don't know that anyone specifically said he was #1, heard people say he could be the best player. Don't know that anyone had him as the best prospect, Fultz had that almost unanimously.

Right. Yeah, it wasn't a direct one to one comparison on who should be drafted in what order. More of a "when all is said and done" kind of thing.

I know that some mock drafts back before the draft had the Suns taking Jackson even if they got the number 1 pick--thats the only time I've heard of it.
You can tell he's a bit of an ass. That could go either way. Look at westbrook, he's an ass.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

Chriss seems like someone who doesn't lack any either.

Or Kobe.
Good point. BTW, He's probabaly the best defender on our team right away. Atleast on the perimeter.

The guy is just perfect alongside booker. He's a great athlete, great defender and has some play making skills. On top of that, he's a relentless player, non stop motor. And as his interview indicated, he's gonna put in the work. Shot is a little bit of a question mark, but he still shot 38% from 3. It's ugly but it went in. I don't know that he's ever a superstar, but I think we're looking at a guy who will put up 18 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and just play hard.
I'll be thrilled if he averages that.

Yeah, I hadn't considered that before, but there is a lot of confidence between Booker, Chriss, and Jackson.
A lot of times I know that tension in locker rooms can come when a bunch of guys around the same age talent level are on the same team because they all want to be the man. Who do you think emerges as the leader in the locker room of those 3? Or is it someone else?
