He basically contributed the same as MAL and drew pre injury. He has 11, 9, and 15 last few games. Mind u off the bench Walk!!!! That's solid production, production that makes a difference in one or two possession losses!!!

OMG so spot-on Walk...he melted that 14 pt lead to 3 before Cooley finally yanked his arse with a gentle merciful hand slap my section followed my lead screaming at our great coach to "get him outta there" which eventually happened albeit too late Regrettably I must also report that he's contracted the dropsy malady that has plagued Rodney when trying to catch a pass I commend that he boldly tries to make plays and on rare occasions actually does make them but he's wildly inconsistent offensively he's better defensively and can get some tough rebounds while playing against a brute on the other team...we really have very little flexibility off the bench so he has to play and you just hope he's ON that day As an aside, the award for the most snakebit has to go to Drew Edwards. I don't criticize him at all....I just feel pity as time and again he just can't buy a basket. He must be so frustrated. I really thought he could be a valuable contributor in short stints this season but alas it has not yet happened. I think kids in practice these days spend a lot of time on shooting and limited time on dribbling. It is not onlu our players. You see it in all the games where players dribble into traffic and lose the ball. Some of that is because in today's game, forwards handle the ball a lot more than they uses to. I look at Jax and Diallo as small forwards. Both have limited dribbling skills but both are good rebounders. Jax is a better 3 Pt shooter and Diallo is a beter finisher at the rim. Where we talk about interchanging positions, we have been mostly playing with multiple small forwards and no 2 guard. When white enters he has more of a 2 guard game but I still don't know if he is even an average ball handler at this stage. Hopefully by next year he will improve that part of his game.

Jackson is averaging 1.1 TO's per game on 20 minutes. Are u guys serious??? Some time I think some of u guys don't understand the game to well. He commits turnovers once and while because he's the only one with the balls and ability to try to create something when we go cold against a tough defense. So yes bone headed turnovers come with the territory in those situations. Players that create offense are also the same players that turn it over from time to time.

last few games excludes his last game (6) and the game at gtown (6min 2 pts). as you said off the bench and not the first one off the bench. He's realistically our 8th (and has been as low as 10th - yes when healthy) depending on Cooley's mood.
