Jackson 2-2 from three.

I also noticed Caron on the Heat bench tonight. Didn't realize he was an assistant with them.

You don't see many 3s that bank off the glass from there.

This is his 4th season as a Miami assistant on the bench.

Played 3 minutes...I just don't get it.

He definitely didn't call bank on that one.

 

[Waquoit]

Pure!

So you mean he has real touch on his shot?
It's great to see he's not intimidated by where he is and it was fun to see his teammates celebrating on the bench after the 2nd one.
Hopefully it's good natured celebrating and not making fun of the fact he makes some shots with his odd shooting form.

Bouknight: 5 points in 5 minutes. 2-3 shooting

Andre: 6 points in 3 minutes on 2-2 three point shooting. Shot selection was questionable and makes were ugly, but 6 points is 6 points

Sanogo: 21 points and 18 rebounds lmao. When the Bulls inevitably blow up their roster this year, I really hope they give him a chance

Ajax getting his money's worth out of the backboard and rim on those two 3's.

FWIW, Andre is shooting 60% (6-10) on threes this season

 

[Chuck]

60% from 3 and 63.2% from 2 for the season. Factor in the defense and passing and he looks like All League to me!

Kidding, of course. Small sample size. But he is showing efficiency. A negative stat in that small sample size is 0 free throws. We always wanted Andre to take it to the rim harder and more often. But it just doesn't seem like that's his game. Another negative seems to be his foul rate. I found a stat that shows he leads the NBA in fouls per minute.

But I don't think anyone here thought Andre would become a star in year one. He's been getting better every year and I hope to see it continue. That bank shot 3 was luck, but he's still improved.

Dame Lillard banked one in 2 games ago. It happens even to the best.

 

[Punkbo]

For better or worse, Andre Jackson Jr. is the most entertaining player we’ve ever seen at UConn.

A negative stat in that small sample size is 0 free throws. We always wanted Andre to take it to the rim harder and more often. But it just doesn't seem like that's his game.

That stat is moreso due to his role on the team, rather than his game. Very minimal offensive role, he hangs out on the baseline hunting for O rebs, sets screens and makes passes from the top of the key. Shoots open corner 3s when they are there.

Hopefully we see some more fast break opportunities, where he definitely can take it to the rim.

Coaches like him, teammates like him , fans like him owners like him. All you need to know

Fanduel has Hawkins for points but not 3’s…. Interesting…

 

[auror]

McCollum back tonight. First time the Pelicans have had McCollum, Zion, and Ingram in weeks if not months. I'd expect Hawkins role to be reduced slightly. Though he will still have the green light off the bench.

Interested to see if they run any lineups with Zion, Ingram, Hawk and McCollum. That’s a nice 1-4 potentially.

And then eventually those 4 plus Trey Murphy. Defense? No. Offense? Full throttle.

Jackson got 12 mins today was 2/3 and 0/1 from three. Solid minutes overall.

Bouknight did not play

Drummond did and was well Drummond.
