Man yall love some Josh Jackson, I will agree that he definitely has more of an upside as a shooter than MKG. I guess my original post should not have been so harsh and said he was MKG 2.0. I should have said I see a lot of the same traits MKG had in college. I personally don't want to draft him, but if we did at least he has the potential to be a much better player. 

lol I guess you finally got on YouTube and watched some game of his. Instead of just reading holy poo some knuckle head wrote on Reddit. 

 

Backtracking is good when you're wrong.

If you want my personal contact info so you can just text me everytime I post that might be quicker

I'm not backtracking. Josh Jackson reminds me a lot of MKG- and that post was from theringer.com but good try champ you'll get something right eventually

My original post lacked nuance.

talk about horrible comparisons. Malik Monk is literally nothing like Brandon Knight. 

I never said they were the same player. I said im afraid he'll be another small two guard coming out of U.K. Who can shoot the ball really well from the 3 like Brandon Knight. 

I remembered Knight being a damn good shooter at UK. Leading his team pretty far. Came into the NBA being a small guy who haven't done much, but bounce from team to team. Why? Bc of his size. 

Same question people are asking about Monk; will he be a PG or SG. He doesn't have the size to play SG. Size matters in the NBA. He's not a PG so he'll have to learn how to play the PG position. If he does that, it's going to take him years. And, meaning if he does successfully make the transition. Monk might be better suited as a 6th man (Crawford type). If Monk was 6'5", he'd easily go in the top3-5. Be a lock. He's faster and probably a better shooter than Devin Booker. 

Kemba is different. He was the point guard, point guard for the Huskies. Ball came through him.

Monk reminds me more of CJ McCollum than Knight but I can understand why someone would go there with a comparison. He can certainly play the 2 in the NBA he will just be a defensive liability. Offensively he should be quick and skilled enough to get his shot off vs bigger defenders just fine. At least that's what I see with my limited basketball expertise.

Edit: Also for what it's worth Monk seems to have that "swag" quality MJ seems to covet. It's the reason we drafted Kemba and Frank, they have that "thing" that MJ had(less of it obviously) and MJ loves players with it.

Monk or Issac. Its uncanny how little young talent the hornets have. Part of the issue is scouting department and player development. 

This isn't to knock MKG but to this day his defensive value or not there was NO reason to draft him over Beal. It's almost like the hornets arent prepared once their initial plan falls thru.
