amac Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I think Jaren Jackson is overrated by some and still living off hype he had as a 3 and D big when he came into the league tbh. think bullet would’ve been better off grabbing a better 3rd option. He’s not actually a good shooter or offensive player and he’s a pretty poor rebounder for a big man as compared to a Horford or Towns, not to mention he’s in constant foul trouble. Fox has been pretty great whenever he hasn’t been paired with another point guard, the Kings have done a bad job maximizing him but he’s managed to put up impressive numbers anyway and this team would open up a lot with the spacing and players he has to dish to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ11 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I was very intrigued with what BC would do with my pride and joy. I think Jaren Jackson is one of the best possible players you can put next to Jokic. I tend to agree that in general he gets a little of that "beloved prospect" bump - but I think you need to put a specific archetype of player next to Jok and it doesn't get much better than JJJ (rim protection - comfortable enough at the 4 with moving his feet). That's a fantastic duo even though JJJ can be hot and cold - with Jok and Shai he won't need to create too much for himself. I also really like Shai with Jok as a PnR partner. No one can stop him from getting in the paint and that will be a ton of easy looks for both players. Batum, OPJ, and Dinwiddie move me with the bench but the rest of the guys are just guys. I don't LOVE Grant and Wiggins next to Jokic offensively, to be honest. Grant's gravity and decision making is not very good - though he is definitely a solid 3 and D wing in theory more than practice. I would probably lean towards Wiggins at the 3 and a guard at the 2. But the defense with the starting group should be solid and they probably move off ball enough to be a good fit. amac's team is very solid. Horford/KAT doesn't make a ton of sense, but maybe you get away with it in this matchup? I probably like the idea of Barnes/Bridges at 3/4 more. I really, really like the bench for this team. A lot of winning guys. White/Jones/Powell/Barnes/Tucker/Looney are all fantastic role players. I'm really not a huge Fox or KAT guy and so I think I lean towards the Jokic offense overpowering in this matchup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
