I'd love to hear an argument for 3-4 players you'd rank above Jackson... Especially Bagley, who I'm not seeing the same way you're not seeing JJJ.


I think there are some really good arguments for Bagley over JJJ...

1) JJJ has an incredibly low usage rate and comes off the bench. It's not fair to expect him to maintain his efficiency in the NBA.

2) JJJ doesn't stay on the floor due to foul trouble... his game log is full of 4 or 5 fouls in 15-20 minutes

3) Bagley consistently performs versus tough teams... 30/14 vs. UVA... 32/21 vs. Florida St.... 30/15 vs. Florida.... 34/15 vs. Texas...

Bagley has his flaws, but there's a reason he's been considered the best player in his class for years. He's number 4 on my board.


My Board: 1) Ayton - 2) Doncic - 3) Porter Jr. (if healthy) - 4) Bagley - 5) JJJ
