<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>TORONTO ? The Toronto Raptors signed swingman Luke Jackson to a 10-day contract Sunday.Jackson was playing with the Idaho Stampede of the National Basketball Development League where he averaged 14.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 23 games. He shot 48.6 per cent from three-point range.The six-foot-seven, 215-pound Jackson was drafted by Cleveland 10th overall in 2004. He had surgery to repair a herniated disc in Jan. 2005 before being traded by the Cavs to Boston last October.He earned a 10-day contract with the Los Angeles Clippers in January, but he didn't get another.Jackson will be in uniform Monday for Toronto's game against the Celtics in Boston.To make room on the roster, the Raptors released rookie forward P.J. Tucker on Saturday.Tucker was selected by the Raptors in the second round (35th overall) of the 2006 draft as a junior out of Texas. He was assigned to Colorado on Jan. 5, recalled by the Raptors on Feb. 5 and sent down again on March 5.In 17 games with Toronto, he averaged 1.8 points and 1.4 rebounds.</div>SOURCEDecided to make an official thread for this instead of discussing it in the other thread.What do y'all think?
His stats tell a story, but I have to see hime play. We do need another swingman to compliment Anthony Parker, but I doubt he will be seeing any or lots of time. Good pickup though, Tucker was playing less than Slokar.
He's not that bad..he was Lebron's backup for a while in Cleveland..he's still young..he was on the Celtics but got cutMaybe the time spent in the D League made him a better player

He sucked totally, plan and simple. What a f*cking bust!
I think he can do a decent job in Toronto. He still young and he can help them by somewhat filling Garbo's place. Even though he's more of a white-shooter-boy.

What a f*cking bust! </div>Yeah, I wouldn't get too excited Rapter fans... the guy isn't anything special. He can knock down the three once in a while but he doesn't have any game inside and his mid range is only decent. I watched him when he briefly played for the Clippers this season, he's decent.
I'm not to big on this guy. But I personally would of rather just kept Tucker. But He can light it up from the 3 sometimes. I remember one game where he killed the Raptors with the 3 pointer.
He'll likely get his chance here, with Garbajosa going down....F*ck, wtf are we going to do when we have to sub Chris Bosh and Rasho off?
I think now that Jorge is out cutting Tucker was silly. I think Tucker could have been a Ryan Gomes type player and he played a lot of 4 in college. Who knows I think Jackson could still turn into a player. I have always rooted for him and wanted the C's to give him a chance.

Ryan Gomes has got the outside shot, and Tucker couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from 15 feet away.....Tucker is probably more chiseld and more aggressive in the paint....That's where he does all his work.....downlow, whereas Ryan Gomes is more versatile.

Jackson WAS the 10th overall pick in 04, I think he can make something happen given the oppurtunity.
