Josh Jackson continues to be aggressive. He doesn’t care that he just went 4-of-18 in a 46-point loss. He doesn’t care that the Suns can’t win a game anymore. He’s going to go out there and attack the rim in every way that he knows how. Mostly by driving right at it and seeing if anyone stops him.
That’s what he did tonight, and it worked. He also took a few threes, which worked also, but his driving ability is one of the things that somehow kept the Suns in this game. If he focused just on that and saved the other stuff for polishing in the offseason, his field goal percentage would likely be a little better than the anemic 40% he shooting right now. But why do we care about field goal percentage? He doesn’t, obviously, and neither should we. One of the Suns’ main goals this season was developing their young talent, and while many of them seem to be stagnating (seriously Ulis what the hech happened to you man I was so hyped), Jackson is at least seeming to improve.
