Celebrating the Career of Josh Jackson

While looking over the list of 2023 free agent SF's I noticed a familiar name - Josh Jackson. That got me to wondering where he's been the last year or two and doing a google search for his numbers. I couldn't find any for the past season!

Looking back some I found that most recently he had been picked up in January by the Kings G-League team but was cut 4 days after being signed! No mention to why just a report that the player they cut to bring him in was being re-signed upon his release. That sounds pretty bad. He played just 1 game and got cut!

He's an UFA if anyone wants to take a chance but it looks like he made his bed when he stood Danny Ainge and the Celtics up regarding a try-out just before the 2017 Draft.

I don't make a habit of dumping on the downtrodden but I do celebrate Danny's decision to pass on Josh (and Fultz for that matter) and select Tatum at #3. Walking away from Josh (a consensus #1 or #2 pick in the country and hyped for his HS status as the best in the country and success at Kansas for just his freshman year of college) after being shunned took balls. Lots would have ignored the shunning and insisted on taking the talent for development but Danny smelled a loser and walked away ... HERE, HERE!  Good luck to you Josh Jackson ...
