Premium Member mrhonline Posted July 11, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 He was playing pretty terribly before his injury, so I wouldn't expect much from him. But for the minimum and with two other good options on the roster, it's a good signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a solid backup and until / if Delaney proves he is better then Jack will still be a great presence for the locker room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This to me puts confidence in Delaney. That does sound more like it, but I would suppose it's something that varies from patient to patient depending on the severity.

He's being brought in purely to be a clubhouse/bench veteran guy unless he's ahead of schedule. And Delaney is the backup PG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diehard Nets' fans hated him, FWIW. At this price, he's about as good as you're going to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can help our two young point guards behind the scenes until he can play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can hope for somewhere in between the 6-12 month recovery time it puts us mid-October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I doubt he's teady to start the season. Still a good locker room guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Jdawgflow Posted July 11, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I would be surprised if Jack is playing before Christmas. ACL is no joke, especially for an older ball player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plainview1981 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 He didn't shoot that great last year, but he posted solid numbers otherwise. I think he is good enough as a backup, but 32MPG is obviously too much for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG%-wise.... yes. 13 points, 7.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals are solid numbers for a backup PG... especially for the minimum. Jack is usually a 42-45% FG guy and i'm sure Bud will put him in the best situations for him to score efficiently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhillboy Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Finally, a move that brought a smile to my face. I love 200 lb PGs, and I didn't know he was from Baltimore. Those guys almost always have an edge. He's gonna be great for keeping Dennis in line and on task. And at 32 there is much room for his game to grow under Bud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipShot Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Everybody knew he was coming to the Hawks. He's a pest for other teams especially late in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJlaysitup Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Very pleased we have JJack...it's an easy name to type for the chatroom . (shift JJ then over to the left for the "a"...across and low for the "c" and then finish to the right for the "k"). ...if he can play some ball that would be a bonus too !!!
