Huge steal kids scoring potential is through the roof
Good pick. Lots of upside
PICKED DURING A COMMERCIAL. GGs NBA. LEAGUE FRIGGED
Hire ZBo for a year to travel with this kid.
Great pick
THIS IS HUGEEEEEE
Memphis adding someone with some very significant character concerns idk about this
GG “Jeep Commercial” Jackson
Fxxk
Garen Jackson, Jr – LFG!!!
Seems like a great second round lotto ticket to me, here’s hoping he hits.
We traded for Marcus smart to be GG’s mentor. King Kleiman playing 5D chess. You have won me back 👑
I like it. He struggled at South Carolina this year but he was the #1 recruit in the country last year for a reason. It’s hard to find a guy with higher upside this late in the draft
Averaged 15 points and 5.9 Rebounds as a freshman this season. He was very inefficient but recently turned 18 so has incredible upside. Will have to mature fast as he had character issues at South Carolina
GG! I LOVE THE GUY ALREADY! WHAT A FUCKING NAME
What a pick
I can’t believe I stayed up to see our pick get called during a commercial. What a bunch of BS.
This pick also doesn’t seem to fit the type of guy they usually go after. Im not going to pretend I know anything about him but the write ups about him don’t sound great.

Steal
He was 6th in his HS class. Played on a rat team so defenses just focused on him. Will get plenty of G league time. Huge upside.
Crazy value at 45.
Huge upside and super young, hopefully the past college concerns are just (understandable) immaturity as he did reclassify. Low risk high reward pick!
Do we have any more picks after this?
So we’re gonna have Jackson Jr and Jackson II? 🤯
Nice surprise
he’s a junior right? he is debating with me about why they are saying 2nd instead of junior. this would make yet another junior in the roster and a second Jackson junior.
He was in the running to be the #1 pick in the 2024 draft. All he wanted was to stay in his normal class and join UNC in 2023.
But his mom wanted him at South Carolina and reclassified to 2022. She got what she wanted. And after a miserable school year, look at when he got drafted.
Good pick but remember we always have Clarke if he can return soon
Great. I know a lot about this guy.
What a great upside pick: A+ by Klieman
At 45, why not?

G.G got in trouble in college for going on Instagram live after a loss to rip his teammates and coaches for not getting the ball.
I get he’s just 18 but YIKES not the guy I want in the locker room
Pefect player to play garbage time after a convincing victory.
