I love Giannis apparent reaction on the putback dunk off the 3.  He's underneath fighting for position and he and a few opposing players just look up to see these arms and then body come and dunk it with ease.  Is it just me or does it look like Giannis is thinking "Alright, he (Jackson) got this."

Also, what stand up about Jackson is his spacing on the floor.  For me, this has been one of the greatest strengths of Hurley's teams since he took the UConn job, and it was a big turn around from previous years.  There are so many raw guys going to the NBA that some of them go in without some of the fundamentals and it must be nice for an NBA coach to bring in a young player who understand the importance of spacing.

Finally, though I ama big "C's" fan, Giannis is one of my favorite players to watch and I love that Jackson is playing with him.  Giannis is a great guy for him to learn from and a good example of a guy who came into the NBA with a lot of raw talent and worked and listened to become an absolute force.
