Captain Jackson making a difference

“especially for a player like me, a defensive player,“
”I'm a defender, a rebounder, a passer. I also can score the ball. But when guys like that win games, you see them make it to the next level. My focus is on winning games and trying to hang a banner in Storrs”

Found this interesting. Was hoping to see him emphasize scoring more this year ( hopefully by using his size and athleticism to drive to the hoop) but now I’m wondering a bit if that’s going to be a focus.
 
Great wing defenders, who can guard multiple positions & make a shot when needed tend to make a lot of money at the next level. Very excited to see him this season.

If he is scoring 10-12 ppg consistently, UConn will be fine. Big thing is how he can impact a game in so many ways without having to shoot a bunch.

Guys that description are shooters. Very good shooters. Unfortunately, Andre is not that guy. Adequate shooting and continuing to elevate his playmaking might let him stick with some team though.... he has a weird skillset that isn't particularly in demand. But there's gotta be some team that will need it

If he was half of what Marcus brings it would be outstanding
Let’s try to be realistic
Love AJs attitude and athleticism but not Marcus

His offensive IQ & passing should help supplement his below-average shooting. He rebounds & can push tempo - which is huge in the NBA. I think a good season will get him on a lot of NBA radars - lets hope so!

I couldn’t disagree more. Andre has a skill set very much in demand. He’s ultra athletic, potentially a 6-7 lock down defender at multiple positions, a passer with great vision and a very special productive rebounder. Andre will score his points as his shooting grows from hard work. He’s a smart guy who will figure out ways to make his team win.

I think Andre will be fine or even better than average shooting spot up 3s. His percentage last year was decent. I want to see him learn how to shoot off the dribble though which probably requires some mechanic changes.

Yeah lockdown defenders who play hard will always find a role in the NBA. Not everyone is going to be able to shoot.

I don't have time to write a "Captain Jack" song parody but maybe someone should get on that

Thanks guys. I'll admit to a self-satisfied smile when "Won't leave Sanogo on an island" came to me, and I have probably sung it in my head a few hundred times since, laughing every time.

Upon reflection, I do wish I had written "drop the dimes" instead of "dish the dimes."
