Indiana Pacers guard Quenton Jackson showed exactly what type of player he can be during summer league for the blue and gold.
LAS VEGAS — Quenton Jackson has a ridiculous top speed, even with the ball. When he can manage it, he's a tough cover. But that isn't always his reality, and that balance was clear during his recent summer league for the Indiana Pacers.
His three-point shooting was a weapon, yet his turnovers were too frequent. Jackson was pedestrian in other ways, like with his fouling and rebounding. In general, the Texas A&M product flying down the court like a blur popped more than any of that. He was tough to stay in front of, especially with a screen, and that made defenses react.
"I've been the point guard for the first group," Jackson explained of his role during summer mini camp. "But I don't even really consider that my role. I think my role all around is to be a leader. Show the new guys coming in how we handle things around here.". Jackson might feel like he fell short with the leadership category given his turnover number as a point guard.
