You don't like Frank Jackson? Other than his passing, I think he will be a solid player if not more. Calling this one.

He's in that Kobi Simmons/Frank Mason/Monte Morris range of PGs for me. So probably the very end of the first at the earliest is where I'd take him, a lot of guys in this range.

Kobi Simmons?

Cmon breh - I think both Frank Jackson and Frank Mason should be fringe first rounders. Kobi and Monte Morris are end of the draft fodder at this point, though I think Monte Morris could have a solid career. Not sure what Kobi Simmons brings to a team

I do think Frank Jackson is a fringe first rounder. Mason has a lottery level game but is closer to undrafted status than he is first round.

Monte Morris should come off the board before any of the names I listed, he's the best of that second tier of PGs.

Been saying this on a different forum for a while. I love dudes game. He would be perfect in Denver next to Jokic.

Yep. I thought the same about Miles Bridges for similar reasons.

Cam said he had a 7'0 wingspan and measured out 7'1, vert looking as good as ever too.

if Monte Morris goes Frank Jackson or Mason, I'd be highly surprised. Mason's size is the only thing that has him ranked low and someone will take a flier on him imo early than Morris.

In fact , i believe i read Mason was cooking Morris up something mean in the 5 on 5

Mason is 23 too. Despite having that level of skill, Mason wouldn't go lottery even if he were 6'3 like Ulis would have.

Monte Morris is the best pure PG in the draft in my opinion. Really impressive combine so far too, but you could say that about Mason and Jackson as well.

Teams shouldn't worry about Lonzo leaving. If he's as good as he's projected, organizations will simply be able to offer him the super max, and very doubtful one turns that down.

He's got BBB, he won't need a super max. :mjgrin:

What's the biggest difference between Fox and Mudiay? Anytime I hear fast + athletic + can't shoot, it reminds me of Mudiay.

Fox is more limber and mobile than Mudiay. Fox doesn't have a ton of range on his shot, but isn't a bad shooter. He has to expand the range he has. Mudiay just can't shoot, regardless of location.
