Also was told that Josh Jackson's workout in LA "did not go well at all." Brought high energy but struggled with his shooting and handle.

That's a relief.

Looks like Ball is our guy. Unless he has a bad workout today.

I read yesterday that Fox thinks he shot well in his workout

If we believe that, then Fultz murdering his workout is true or maybe both are smokescreen misdirection reports lol

My theory/hope: that didn't come from the Lakers, but the Celtics driving up the price for #1.

Good point. As soon as that broke then news of the Philly Boston trade came out

if we want a long defensive wing with offensive ability that can grow why would we not take isaac over jackson? Isaac has more of a chance at 6'11 to be more special than jackson. imho Isaac > jackson

Agree with this too! Issac is already a decent 3 point shooter and IMO his physical profile for defending multiple positions is way better than JJ's.

Until you watch Isaac play, and wonder why kid that size plays like Nick Young.

Jackson has three def shot motions. ball has one

Give me the guy that shoots one way "muscle memory"

After witnessing 20 years of Kobe and the competitiveness that drove him, I'm honestly shocked at how undervalued Josh Jackson's competitive drive is.

That drive fuels the internal motivation to develop one's skills over a career and serves as a sparkplug for a team's energy on the court.

It didn't hurt that Kobe had a generational combination of skill, athleticism, and body type coming out of HS.

If you see two guys like that in this draft and one has Kobe's drive, let's draft that guy.

Josh Jackson's second workout for the Lakers sounds like it went horribly The prospect evidently did not address concerns about his jumper or handle. https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2017/6/16/15822398/2017-nba-draft-rumors-josh-jackson-second-workout-la-lakers-draftexpress-trade-markelle-fultz

Anybody surprised with that? I'd rather take Tatum or DSJ if we're not going Ball. Trade down for 5 and 10.

Dude, we all have different aesthetic visions. My favorite movie is a tie between In the Realm of the Senses and Enter the Void, and Lonzo's shot is ugly beautiful to me.

Good luck finding a guy who only shoots one way

it may have went bad, but this is the same guy that has been pushing Lonzo on his podcast for weeks. Again, I am not saying its not true or he is being dishonest, but he seems to just be taking to Givony tweet, and exaggerating it.

I could see both as being true but Jackson admitted he had problems with shooting/ball-handling. If he's admitting that, must have been real bad.

@ChrisMannixYS Kansas's Josh Jackson building a lot of momentum among top-five team execs. Hearing phrases like "difference-maker" and "major star." _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold.

I wouldn't call Bres a leak source.. Givony may have allegiances to other teams though... Both said he shot poorly
