That is a bit of an unfair portrayal of Lebron who is one of the most engaged sports stars in terms of giving back.
Based on what I've read about Ball and his father, they seem more interested in parlaying Lonzo's basketball ability into a wealth-earning brand than in succeeding in the game of basketball itself. So it's no surprise if Ball looks up to James, who has been vocal since the beginning of his career about wanting to use basketball specifically to make himself rich.

If the Suns were able to swap draft picks (presuming they select #1) for assets and still draft Jackson, I would be ecstatic.
I guess it all depends on how the Suns view the early selections and whether they want to draft a PG.

I can also see Lonzo Ball eventually going to the Lakers at the first opportunity because this is reportedly what the father wants. He might want it as well. I would not like to hear this drum beat throughout his tenure with the Suns.
Yeah, I wouldn't like that either, although those sorts of childhood loyalties usually don't end up working out. The player is usually always fine with the team that will pay them the most, sometimes in combination with the chance to win. And the team that drafted them usually has the best chance at paying them the most or extending them early. Most likely it would just be an occasional annoyance, like Larry's dad and the Vikings...
Did anyone see Jackson guard Caleb Swanigan last night? Crazy.
Yeah that guy is scary good on defense at times. Swanigan got 18 points but he had 6 turnovers and there were multiple points in the game where you could see the frustration on his face. There was a small stretch where Lucas covered him instead and he immediately hit a 3 and I think a putback. It was like someone took a weighted vest off him and he could suddenly move again.
I really hope UCLA and Kansas play in the final 4 watching Jackson guard Leaf or Lonzo will be fantastic.
Fox and Monk styling on UCLA.
Its no more reliable than anyone else.nbadraft.net is not reliable

Jackson may have shaken up the top three. Anything could happen with those three right now. I would be thrilled to add any one of those three to this team next year.
My big worry is what to do if the Suns end up trading 4-6.
Draftexpress has established itself as the far best site that is openly available for fans. Heck the guys running Draftexpress are pro scouts and working for some NBA fans.
Please tell me how they are not a reliable source.
So where does Jordan Bell go in this draft? What an awesome shot blocker. Can't believe how hard he owned Jackson at the rim tonight.
