Tag: Justin Jackson

Justin Jackson is well-known in NBA circles for being one of the most do-nothing players starters in the league. Technically, he isn’t starting anymore this year, but last year, he started so many games and was basically invisible for more than half of them. Have you ever wondered what you’d get if you took Tony…

It was sort of a foregone conclusion going into this game that, in the battle of the players whose names are “J. Jackson”, the Suns’ Josh Jackson would come out on top. He just has that scorer’s mentality that is missing from the Kings’ Justin Jackson. To my surprise and delight, however, Justin Jackson actually…

Has this been a successful season for Justin Jackson? He was picked 15th, which is starting to get into “this guy may not be any good at all” territory, so the fact that he’s definitely playable (even startable) is a good thing. But his overall statistical production is pretty low, and on a team like…

Justin Jackson this game: 7/9 FG, 15 points Garrett Temple this game: 1/10 FG, 2 points This is one of those times where playing the rookie over the veteran isn’t a tanking move, but actually a move that might help win games. I still feel like Temple is the better player overall, but if he’s…

The season is getting close to its end, only a month left or so, and I’m proud to say that I’ve finally stopped typing Josh Jackson when I really meant to type Justin Jackson. It was a lot of hard work, training my mind and fingers to not key the name of the much more…

I have these persistent positive feelings towards Justin Jackson but I’m not sure why. Every time I see him play I’m like “yeah he looks pretty good” but then he doesn’t score that many points or shoot that well from the field. Case in point: he’s currently below 30% on three-pointers for the season, on…

Every player on the Kings except for Georgios Papagiannis and Jack Cooley has started at least one game for them. Justin Jackson, with ten starts, is just one of many players who has been declared to be “starter-quality” by whatever mysterious entity it is that determines those things. I guess I can’t argue with that…

Justin Jackson doesn’t seem like a great player right now, but I will say that he looks especially good in his highlights. Obviously, every player looks better than what they actually are in highlight vids, but this guy goes above that. Can you say “in-between game”? Because that’s what it seems like he has. In…

The amount of primo young talent on the Kings is freaking me out right now. And it’s not the tanking kind of young talent that the 76ers had a few years ago. Even their “DNP-too scrubby” prospects have potential or whatever. Except for Vince Carter. I don’t think he has any potential left anymore. Just…

I bet you can guess what this video description will be about. It should be obvious. If it’s not obvious, you’re a lot smarter person than I am, and maybe you should be writing the descriptions since apparently you have so many more ideas than I do. Here’s the thing. Before this game, I was…
