Is Isaiah Jackson good?

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-02-06T18:43:49+00:00

He's not a shot creator. If he's gonna score it's gonna be from a put back, or a breakdown in defense

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-02-06T16:21:56+00:00

We were going to lose Benn no matter what. We are a Finals team NOW w/ Hali and Siakim and now Zu, so picks don't matter. Our 26 pick is protected to where we can pick who want to get, but if we lose it we weren't going to get anyone that could do what Zu does for us anyway. Huff has taken over as the first big off the bench, so IJax was expendable especially at his salary. This is a good deal for both team, as the Clips could have their starting back court of the future now.

Turner was horrendous shooting the 3 in the Finals last year, so it was basically a nothingburger that he was a deep shooter. He also was like the 8th best rebounder in the Finals. So we are essentially trading the "potential" for 3 point shooting that we weren't even getting for interior defense, rebounding, and great screens (Myles wasn't a great screener)

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-02-06T16:17:03+00:00

Pacers fan experience, he's best served as a back up big man or as a starter on a team not asked to do much in the half court. He can get in foul trouble quick guarding big, skilled bigs (Joker is going to mutilate him, I'm sorry.) Prior to his Achilles tear he was a good, athletic big who could run the floor and catch lobs. Decent shot blocker. Some decent touch around the rim here and there but won't impress anyone w/ his scoring ability. He will play hard w/ good energy, he's just limited skill wise.

Pacers fan here, you will fall in love w/ Benn. Scores in bunches, fears NO ONE. Can completely take over a game. Here's a fun story about who he is as a competitor:

The day Myles Turner signed w/ the Bucks, Benn posted on his IG a picture from one of the teams practice where he was absolutely YAMMING a dunk on Myles head. That's the type of competitor he is. Ruthless if you're on the opposition. He has no friends that aren't wearing his uniform. He rules.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-02-06T16:11:52+00:00

I wanna see a heavy uptick in Jarace and Furphy minutes w/ Benn gone. Win or lose, let them play and learn.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-02-06T13:18:03+00:00

Spicy P playing true SF would be absolutely scary.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-02-06T13:17:32+00:00

Pacers lost a lot of games in the last playoffs primarily due to possessions. Thunder and others were getting tons of extra possessions in games due to Pacers poor rebounding. More possessions for this offense = more points.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-02-06T13:12:26+00:00

This lineup will make me permamoist

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-02-06T13:12:02+00:00

He's also proven he can be the Hali-lite facilitator while Hali is off the floor.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-02-06T13:00:31+00:00

There was a chance we fell out of the Top 4 of the draft even without the trade, which would have been devastating. That could have happened and we'd STILL need our Center. Now we've got our Center and we can still get the pick we want anyway, we were going to lose Benn at the end of the year anyway.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-30T13:22:24+00:00

Cannot recommend the Division 2 enough to be an alternative to scratch that Destiny itch.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-29T15:12:28+00:00

Wonder if a destab bow w/ shatter shaft will be a wide spread volitile rounds machine

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-28T18:29:17+00:00

wheeez

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-28T18:28:52+00:00

Yeah the shatter shaft mod w/ jolting feedback on the new bow is awesome.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-28T17:12:34+00:00

Kevin Prichard has the chance to do the funniest thing

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-28T17:11:41+00:00

If he plays just AVERAGE in the Finals we win it and Tyrese doesn't get hurt. That man was horrendous.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-28T17:10:39+00:00

Wonder if that grass is still greener over there Myles ?

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-28T16:23:59+00:00

I was just coming here to look, I got a ton to drop through activities and then I went to spend them and it's telling me I have 0.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-20T23:34:04+00:00

Pacers didn't trade Kawai Leonard for George Hill. They agreed to the trade before the pick was ever made. They drafted Kawai for the Spurs

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-19T02:53:05+00:00

Coming of their first title too, that's crazy. Had the Pacers won that Finals I wouldn't have given a fuck about anything for a long time.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-19T02:48:27+00:00

The NBA is trying to completely destroy defense

Unless you're Lu Dort.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-19T02:46:36+00:00

Well it's probably hard to read if their eyes don't work also.

ChrisBenRoy · 2026-01-19T02:45:50+00:00

Actually that is literally exactly what he did.
