If you don't start your discussion of Andre Jackson with a defense comment, you are missing the bigger impact. His energy and tenaciousness - Tazmanian Devil like - pulls the other 4 along with him. If you stridently whine about turnovers, you miss how improved he has become. He is the best at entry passes to Sanogo and getting the pass precisely to catch and shoot 3 ball shooters. This year had a change moment: it was when Hurley and team confidently pushed AJ into the role of d-offense change agent in ball press to the frontcourt. Last night was my favorite game of 2022 (not because we were making shots), it was that all 6 prime players were dialed in and helped each other. Jackson did go strong last night. His shot ... go watch last years shooting. That awkward push shot isn't what he did last year. It is a work in process - imho.

I loved Raftery's statement about the court being too small for him. Jackson has a rare combination of physical skills. On a 100-110 foot court he would have a handful of highlight reel dunks every game.
I just hope the refs don't break out the whistles tonight because it's Nova. I was impressed with the crew last night, letting both teams to be physical, but keeping control of the game.
