Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Spurs Website advocates drafting Rick Jackson

Rick Jackson - PF, Syracuse, 6'9'', 240 lbs.

He is a bruising blue collar type big man. Led the Big East in rebounding, blocked shots and field goal percentage. He's a very smart player, always putting himself in great position to get offensive rebounds, which he did at a very high level at Syracuse. He's a very good passer for a big man as the offense was often run through him and he found cutting guards and open players on the perimeter when the double team came.

He's so tall, he could only play keeper I think.

I mean, Peter Crouch is one of the only people I can think of that is that tall and plays striker.

I love Rick

But isn’t he just a less-skilled DeJuan Blair? Not sure that’s a great fit.

Rick has his flaws

But teams could do much worse. And will.

Hard to pass up an 18-year old Latvian though. Why add a solid player when you can win the draft lottery and play the future star lottery?

I don't want to hurt Rick's draft chances...

since I’m sure all NBA execs read my posts for draft insights, but I don’t remember a lot of this great passing or the offense being run through Rick.

Rick was a very good passer

Perhaps not as good on the receiving end. Could get Butlerfingery.

Was?

IS a good passer.

Yeah he had like 5 different ridiculous full court bouncepasses I remember

But if he was double-teamed in the post, passing was a problem. That can be fixed though
