"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
Biggest thing to see immediately is Jackson is very, very quick off the bounce. Gets to the rim and can finish.
A needed commodity.
Warriors got Jordan Bell....
Hm...actually watching him he reminds me more of CJ McCollum.
Yeah, I see a lot of CJ in him. He is quick, and can light it up from anywhere. I hope he can play defense.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Well there you go. Another developmental draft pick who's only 18. Get off Dell's case. Summer league should be interesting.
Well, we had Bacon and grits for a few minutes at least.

One thing I can tell you is that Dell has had his eye on him for YEARS https://t.co/RJsnBjK8sL

So with us getting Frank Jackson, do we keep Cook ?

NBA Draft Combine measurements:
— Mason Ginsberg (@MasonGinsberg) June 23, 2017
Jrue Holiday (2009): 6'4.25" height, 6'7" wingspan
Frank Jackson (2017): 6'3.5" height, 6'7.5" wingspan
Because CJ has to be. And most NBA players who drive the lane need to have moves while they're in the lane too.
I think the same will be for Jackson. He has the quickness for it. And he's got a nice spin move in the lane already. Really looking forward to seeing how he develops.
Edit: Something else that folk'll like is that he just made 19 years old.
Jackson is not a great defender, but he can shoot well, pass ok. Young. Fits as a project, good gamble.

Frank da Tank (like CJ) is sneaky quick. Frank had a hurt foot apparently, so that might have hampered his shiftiness. I imagine he will do well working with pro coaches and strength coaches.
