Hell-Our spies have informed us that Celts exec Danny Ainge is so impressed with BC point guard Reggie Jackson that he’s already guaranteed the Celts will take him with the 25th pick in this year’s draft. Ainge personally was on hand for a number of Jackson’s game, and is a tremendous fan. The problem for the C’s is that Jackson’s stock is soaring and the thoughts from scouts everywhere is that he will be long gone by then meaning that Boston will have to trade up to select him.
“Danny’s already guaranteed him,” a source close to Jackson’s camp told TKB. “He saw a ton of games at BC this year.”

Now this is really interesting. I kind of had a feeling the Celtics liked Jackson, I mean when there are 5 people in Conte and 3 are me, 3, and danny ainge, that's when you know a team likes a guy. They need some guard help, avery bradley struggles and Ray Ray is getting older so Jackson would be a nice playmaking fit. I still stand by my assertion that Jackson should return for his Senior year. I think he would be even higher than 25th next year, baring some freak injury. But hey, looks like he's staying in the draft so I guess we gotta live with that. From a pure basketball standpoint, it would lay an interesting future for the team with Rondo, Jeff Green, and Jackson, all athletic guys who can run out of the building. All in all, I don't hate this, hopefully Danny can make it a reality. In all seriousness, this such a Danny Ainge move. Who guarantee's shit? Why put yourself in that position? Danny is just such an interesting fellow, and this has gotta be some kind of fine or something right? Whatever. Keep it going Danny let's kick the Heat's ass tonight.
Is it weird that a Knicks blog is reporting this? I didn't even know the Knicks had a blog, didn't know they had the interest for that sort of thing. I guess this is what they can do with all the free time on their hands.
Ps. I hear Reginold looked fly at the Athlete Banquet last night, guess he's got that NBA draft swagg going.
-thanks ponz for the tip.
