NBC Sports 2023 NBA Mock Draft 7.0: Has Nets drafting Jalen Hood-Schifino and G.G. Jackson in the first round



>**#21 Brooklyn Nets (via Suns):** [Jalen Hood-Schifino](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApHJwbmeXHs)

>Team: Indiana Hoosiers
>
>Year: Freshman

>Position: PG/SG

>Height/Weight: 6’6, 215 lbs

>If Hood-Schifino developed a more consistent 3-point shot, he might have been in the lottery conversation. A big guard (6-foot-6, 215 pounds) who can penetrate the paint and facilitate at an elite level in the high post is a hot commodity for draft evaluators. His go-to shot is the midrange pull-up jumper. – TB

>This draft is not lacking whatsoever in athletic forwards and Jackson is yet another, though also with maybe the rawest skillset in the lottery. He’s fast and mobile at 6-foot-9 with the ability to create off the dribble, but he shot sub-40% from the field and is not particularly good at shooting from anywhere on the court, even at the free throw line. The caveat is he’s only 18 and won’t turn 19 until December. He’s a long-term project who could be worth betting on if a team can give him time to develop. – CH

    Really like Schifino. He looked like an NBA player in the few games I watched. Extremely under control and composed on ball for a freshman his age. Really smooth.

    I don’t know his ceiling, but I think he’s at minimum going to be a good NBA player. Reminds me of a taller and bigger Tyus Jones.

  2. Nets are going to have a crazy fucking draft. They’re either taking two dope young players, it’s a great class, or they trade them for a star guard

    Either way I’m very excited

    I like these cats ^ and their builds

    Love the idea of GG. Can get his own basket. Lots of potential. Give him 3-4 years to blossom while Mikal runs the show

    Doubt will be there when we make our picks.

    I think we have a better shot at a combo or Kobe Bufkin and Leonard Miller/Noah Clowney/Dariq Whitehead

    Trade em both with dinwiddie and dodo for dame.

    I’m all for having a Jalen on the team, guys name Jalen are usually good basketball players

    But in all seriousness I’d like the idea of Jalen and would be hesitant on GG even if he’s young but it’s a projected 22 pick so it can go either way

    Swell

    I for one won’t be surprised if one or both of the picks get traded.
