I don’t think Andre should have played 31 minutes today, especially so many overlapping with Tyrese. They both basically bring the same things at this point.
I think it became pretty clear today RJ is our PGJackson is our PG. If it wasn’t clear before today, it is now. I don’t see much overlap except that they are both great rebounders. Both play good D.
Jackson is our point guard? No, that’s RJ. Jackson is playing shooting guard, but he has a poor handle and is not a very good shooter. He is a great rebounder and flashy passer, but he had zero assists today.Jackson is our PG. If it wasn’t clear before today, it is now.

Exactly. Get Hawkins those minutes. Need shooters.Jackson is our point guard? No, that’s RJ. Jackson is playing shooting guard, but he has a poor handle and is not a very good shooter. He is a great rebounder and flashy passer, but he had zero assists today.
He is a better prospect than Martin, but Martin is a better player right now and does all the things that Andre does better; and there is nothing Andre does that Martin doesn’t.
I don’t like either one of them playing the two.
Tyrese and Jackson are the same player? Is that what you’re saying?I don’t think Andre should have played 31 minutes today, especially so many overlapping with Tyrese. They both basically bring the same things at this point.
Nope. Not at all. But they have a lot redundancies in terms of the needs they fill on this team.Tyrese and Jackson are the same player? Is that what you’re saying?
Maybe we’re watching different games but Martin and Jackson aren’t even remotely close. Jackson lacks a lot offensively but his passes and handles aren’t an issue.Nope. Not at all. But they have a lot redundancies in terms of the needs they fill on this team.
Unless and until Jackson gets a better handle, develops a better outside shot and makes passes that actually turn into baskets.
Forget shooting at this point. He should drive to the rim or pull up for a floater. SomethingAJ does some great things, especially rebounding the ball and keeping it alive. He’s a good passer but not great gets too pretty at times he should throw a regular bounce pass or 2 hander. His defense could be good but he’s a floater always looking to make a play off his guy, gets burnt more than people would prefer to admit.
So much there. Wish he could shoot, until he does he will have a hard time getting to the basket. Like him but he giveth and taketh a little too much for now!
Cole Hawkins Martin Whaley SanogoExactly. Get Hawkins those minutes. Need shooters.
If anything, Jackson is likely not a 2 year player at the college level. I think he tests the NBA draft waters after this year is over..but returns next year as a junior to maximize his skill set and readiness for the NBA.AJ is an athlete first, a good passer second and a basketball player third. He showed today that he can sky and has a long reach. He made some nice passes but to be honest, he gets too many minutes. He is not an effective player in that he plays reactionary basketball rather than under control. He had how many goal tending calls and needless fouls after the player was making and easy score did he have today?
What I liked today was that he was active but as my son commented, it looks like there is something wrong with him because he doesn't look like he is mentally in the game.
He is a young sophomore and will be a 4 year player. He has to work on his handle in the open court, becoming comfortable with his 3 pt shot and taking the ball to the hoop under control while using the athleticism he has been blessed. I think he can and will become a more complete player. He isn't close to that yet.
…posters that were dissing Andre Jackson’s game don’t know basketball. Period.
BTW, as far as this statement above- there are posters on this board who have dissed AJ and many others who have forgotten more basketball than you will ever know
Jackson is not CLOSE to an NBA player at this point and won’t be until he develops an offensive game. He’s not going anywhere early until that happens. You people are nuts.If anything, Jackson is likely not a 2 year player at the college level. I think he tests the NBA draft waters after this year is over..but returns next year as a junior to maximize his skill set and readiness for the NBA.
That would be great for next year's Uconn team because we are losing at minimum 4 key players after this season ends (Whaley, Polley, Cole and Martin). Heck, we might even be losing Sanogo early if has an Emeka Okafor type year.
The last guy on an NBA bench is an efficient scorer compared to AJ. He has a long ways to go.If anything, Jackson is likely not a 2 year player at the college level.
