10-29 (34.5%) FG, 1-8 (12.5%) 3P, 3-7 (43%) FT. 8 points 4.7 rebounds 1 steal in 21.3 minutes.

Coming into this season, we were all fully aware that it would take a while for Jackson to develop his offense. I think the early going got us a little hyped too early that he might be more ready than we thought. His last stretch has really brought that thinking back down to earth. On a positive note, his defense is as advertised. 21 games into the season he has had 9 games with at least 5 rebounds as well as 9 games with at least 2 steals.
