And to think there were games early on that Jackson was a mess. I think Jackson is one of those players that needs a good sweat built up. Like Ewing? I remember when he played for the Knicks he had his own personal squeegee guy, who came out to mop the sweat every time he went to the line. A puddle would start to form from staying in the same place too long.

I'm still waiting for Jackson to take over a game. He has inside and outside skills, having enough quickness to bother big men down low and enough length to shoot over smaller defenders from the three point line. His 15-footer is sweet and he seems to be a heady player. I'm confident that big game is coming but I hope it's this year! Yeah but at the end of the day I think his lack of athleticism might hinder him from taking that next step. He gets to the rim a ton but fails to finish......that's were athleticism comes to play Certain players get the ball that deep(Dunn/Diallo) you can put the two on the board Jackson doesn't have much lift

He actually did the exact same thing Bullock did last week. Faked a 3, drove the baseline and then tried to twist and put the ball in from in front of the rim. The good athletes go straight baseline and dunk from the side.
