Jackson at the 2 fills a role for them but not really a hole. Avery Bradley gave them good production at the SG. Jackson could be all world and will eventually push Bradley to the bench.
I'd go for Jackson if I was them or the Lakers. But it's a big risk to go to the third pick because of the reason you said. I could see someone jumping them and then they're looking at Ball on their board.

Jackson actually fills a better role for the Lakers - eag Jun 16, 16:26
What I suspect is that Ainge saw that Cleveland couldn't match up with Durant. - David Jun 16, 14:39 6
- tough to match up with Durant when you also have to worry about the others as well :) -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 14:56
- I'm still hoping they'll see Jimmy Butler as the answer to that. Smaller, but top level defender. - pmb Jun 16, 14:49 3
  - I think Paul George makes more sense. -- nm - David Jun 16, 14:53 2
    - And no one is giving the Pacers much given he's already forwarding his mail to LA -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 16, 14:54 1
      - Exactly. And Butler is on a decent contract with the Bulls. -- nm - pmb Jun 16, 15:02
- Good point. -- nm - Krusty Jun 16, 14:40
This is me assuming Jackson can't play the 3 in the NBA -- nm - Krusty Jun 16, 14:39
