    Draft Pelicans Trade 40th Pick and Cash to take Frank Jackson 31st overall.

    isnt he still hurt, why did we trade for a hurt pg/sg?

  4. #4
    Because they believe he will be healthy and is worth the pick? We just gave up the 40th and some money.

    Because he's a good combo guard with a good 3pt shot that should have been a first round pick. He will be an upgrade over instant Fraizer.

    his jumper is silky smooth and this move seems to make a lot of sense...

    seems he was projected to go 21 to mid 30's in mock drafts for what it is worth.

    Good shot, good athlete and good character from what I can find. I like this pick a lot.

    Looks like the biggest knocks on him are:

    1) He's much more of a score first guard. Limited vision or too focused on getting his own bucket.

    2) Probably has limited defensive versatility. Has size to guard the 1 but might have trouble on bigger SGs.

    If those are his biggest knocks, I can live with it. We will need offensive firepower with our 2nd team. Let him and Crawford go crazy getting buckets.

    "I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

    Ray Charles can see Jackson is no where close to the player Evans is.
    As bad as we need a Legit Point Guard
    Sorry Evans was sitting there waiting and we take a guy that can't hold a candle to Crawford or Moore at the 2 spot. He is horrible at the 1 just watch his film terrible off the dribble no handle. If they plan on paying Holiday to run the Point Guard we will be no better than the last 4 years with Holiday. Just my rant.
    Let's hope July 7 we buy a Point Guard

    Seems like the Pels are doing exactly what the Saints did i.e. got a good talent but with injury. Do they have the same doctors? They must really trust them..

    The plan is to let Cousins run the offense. Have you not been paying attention at all this off season?

    We need shooters and slashers. Jackson fits both needs.

    Jackson will miss Summer League while rehabbing from surgery

    should be ready for training camp

    per Sam Vecenie


    New Orleans traded Tim Frazier this past week, and will likely try to develop Jackson to take over that role behind Jrue Holiday, who the Pelicans hope to re-sign. It's a good pickup for minimal value. GRADE: B+

    Sad thing is I added him to my ignore list "first ever" and still have to see his nonsense.
