Rooting for Andre Jackson

I was a HUGE critic of AJ earlier in the season, happy to give him props now. The main thing he is doing is cutting down on his poor decision making. Hence the reduced TOs and all around better play. Still wish his man didn’t go by him so much on D, but his improvement is immense and very important to any success this team will have going forward.
 
Jackson's physical tools are off the charts, but what has impressed me the most is his bulldog mentality.

In my opinion, rebounding is 95% about mentality. There are hundreds of great leapers who suck at rebounding, Jackson has made up his mind that every single rebound is his.

Offensively, yeah he might dribble wildly occasionally or pass up an open 3, but that kid has it all between the ears. Some of the extra passes he makes even the non-flashy ones might go unnoticed but have won us games.
Craziest thing is, he’d average what seems like 10-12 rebounds per game if he’d just control some these offensive rebounds vs missed tips
 
He’ll be dominant in Zimbabwe in 2 years where shooting, passing, and dribbling aren’t necessary.
hmmm GIF

Rebounding absolutely is 95% mental. Dennis Rodman might be my favorite NBA player because of the way he rebounded.
