Good for Jackson, but how long till Doc is fired?

 

[3rdbass]

Yeah this feels like a drawing at straws move but let's hope Jackson balls out and is able to score as well as everything else he brings to the court.

 

[Waquoit]

"The sample sizes are tiny, but the Bucks have been dreadful when Trent has been on the court and have outscored their opponents in Jackson’s minutes."

I hadn't heard much about Andre. Good news!

I'll have to check out the start of the game. Two 1-6 teams, that's what League Pass is made for.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Pretty cool to see Dre playing the 2 in the NBA. One of my favorite recent Huskies and hope he has a long NBA career!

Bucks twitter loving him right now. nice early plays

 

[elmcityboy]

he's having the best all-around game of his career thus far. looks amazing on both ends of the court and has played the entire first half.

He is playing pretty well to start the game, though his one miss was pretty ugly. Still super active on both ends.

 

[asteinindc]

this may be the most Andre Jackson play ever

Andre does everything not shown in the box score. But today his impact is being shown in the box score, and that's the key to staying in the rotation. Great 1st quarter from AJax so far

Had the best +/- on Bucks in 1st. Apparently AJax went to bench in favor of Trent, and a 2 pt lead turned into a 10 point deficit within 5 minutes.

 

[LetsGoUC]

He is a energizer bunny

 

[Huskybass]

Love me some AJax.

Andre is The Answer

 

[Fairfield_1st]

I just checked the box score from early in the 3rd. All the Bucks' starters have positive +/-. All the reserves are negative. If the starters could only play the whole game.

Man, it's insane that he steals the ball 60 feet from the rim and gets there in two dribbles.

 

[LIuconn]

Imagine if he came back for his junior year like he was thinking

[storrsroars]

Bucks win. AJax 28 mins, 4 steals, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 7 pts, +19

All the Bucks ended up with positive +/- except Trent (-14). He must be awful.

We won a national championship and he was drafted and signed a guaranteed contract. It's safe to say the right decision was made

Hypothetical here, but swap Andre for Newton and Castle runs the point. That would’ve been crazy to watch.

 

[LIuconn]

It was but he had mentioned the legit possiblity of returning

He did

Sounds like they have Jackson locked in contract wise for a steal of a price.

Got get'em Andre. Show the world what extreme athleticism and dedication looks like.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Portis and Trent are both really bad. Portis scored 19 in 27 minutes with 6 rebounds and was still only +2. Bucks D is atrocious

 

[BlueWhiteKid]

From an ESPN story:

"He brings energy," Antetokounmpo said of Jackson's presence in the starting lineup. "He plays his a** off, guards the best player. We play faster. He was incredible today. We definitely need that. We need that spark. We need to play with that energy."

 

[FreeKlaiber]

Bucks tweak starting 5, use 'energy' to end skid

Andre Jackson Jr.'s move into starting 5 helps Bucks top Jazz​

even gets the ESPN headline credit.

 

[GlastonTim]

Bucks win. AJax 28 mins, 4 steals, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 7 pts, +19

All the Bucks ended up with positive +/- except Trent (-14). He must be awful.

And 0 turnovers.

In today's NBA, an endorsement from the team superstar is huge. The only downside fo his play is that it makes Doc look good. But Doc was smart enough to have his first start against the lowly Jazz.

You're suggesting we should have benched our All American PG? This is a real thought?
