Oleh over at TBW digs into Jackson's combine numbers and college stats and compares him to other players.

quote:

Did you notice, though, how well Jackson’s incredible agility and leaping ability practically outpaces the rest of this group??? At first glance, it seems he’s the second coming of Zach LaVine... but with a better jumper!

This analogy isn’t as far-fetched as you might think. According to Luke Storey of P3, Jackson could be the most freakish athlete from the 2017 NBA Draft.

"Usually when we assess athletes coming through the doors, it's a case of 'OK, these things you're good at, these things you're OK at, mechanically you need to work on this, some of your power numbers here are not great,'" Storey said. "With Frank, it was a case of, 'OK, you are a specimen. You are good at this, exceptional at this, very good at this, exceptional at this.' So let's keep him exceptional at everything."


There's a lot more at the LINK including charts and numbers. Jackson probably won't contribute much this year, but it wouldn't be crazy for him to be the 3rd guard in another year or 2.

Sounds like Frank Jackson is probably a better prospect than the guy we drafted 6th last year and we used him to trade for Demarcus. Does this mean we can possibly use Frank Jackson to help facilitate a trade for Kyrie?

Is he a finisher like LaVine? I knew the guy was supposed to be a good athlete, but LaVine is like freakish athletically. Plus he's 6'5ish, isn't Jackson like 6'2?
