Jasikevicius is a talented player, but I doubt we will ever see an outburst like he had in the Olympics, from him in the NBA.
I think he should do pretty well for Golden State, who dont play a whole lot of defense. His big weaknesses are his ball handling and perimeter defense. He is a smart player, has great court vision and is a good passer and is a streaky shooter for the outside. But he needs the ball to be effective.
So does Al Harrington, so does Baron Davis, so does Monta Ellis, so does almost every single Warriors player now. It remains to be seen how well its all gels together.
The Pacers lost in terms of talent, but the talent they had wasn't fitting together very well, so something had to be done. Despite being overpaid I think Dunleavy and Murphy will do significantly better playing for Carlisle than they were for Nellie.
Jackson was border-line untradable, it took taking on two bad contracts for the Pacers to move him. They had been trying to move him for quite some time.
