Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 3389792, member: 534"] ThoughtZ™ on Jackson as a playmaker. [LIST=1] [*]When he's [B]on[/B], he's really fun to watch. I really miss having fun watching the Huskies. [*]Really appears to think well while pushing the ball up court at breakneck speed. Been a while since we've seen that in a Husky wing. Seems to know where everyone is and who's open or about to get open by the time he crosses half court. [*]He seems to have a tendency to drive through congestion, especially around the foul line. Not sure how well that's going to translate to D1, but for now, he attracts the attention of half the defense as he does so, and it gives him a lot of opportunities to dish. Seems like recently we've had too many guys who do this, and have to concentrate so hard on maintaining possession/control of the ball that they rarely look for a dish target. [*]One of his favorite moves seems to be firing the ball across his body on a low, cross court rifle pass -- usually of the no-look variety -- either to the elbow or the corner. The pass brings to mind the baseball term, 'frozen rope'. Most of our current roster would have little chance of catching that pass. [*]Loves to dunk, but also doesn't mind not being the guy who leads the break and gets the highlight reel dunk. Seems just as excited by making the pass that creates the highlight reel dunk for a teammate. He could contribute mightily to Bouk's pending superstar status. I suspect that both Bouk and Akok will benefit from Andre's play making abilities. [*]Sorry if I'm already thinking too much about next year, but... [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
