According to a report from Gigantes del Basket's Chema Lucas, free agent point guard Aaron Jackson has drawn interest from the Indiana Pacers. Jackson, 6-foot-3, has spent the last three seasons employed by CSKA Moscow. Appearing in 27 games during the 2014-15 season, the former Duquesne guard averaged 7.0 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.4 rebounds on 53.7% shooting. One of Jackson's finest performances of the season came in a Euroleague Third Place Game against Fenerbahçe Ülker Istanbul on May 17, where he scored 12 points and dished a team-high 6 assists. In 2015, Jackson was considered one of 10 contenders for 2014-15 VTB United League Defensive Player of the Year honors. Though the 29-year-old's reported ability to push the ball in transition bodes well for his ability to stick with a team looking to play faster, this commentary from VTB-league.com explains why Jackson has piqued the Pacers' interest: Jackson was primarily known as a scorer when he joined CSKA, but he's improved dramatically on the other side of the ball. The Army Men have enough weapons on offense; they need Jackson for lockdown individual defense. When the team needs to apply suffocating pressure and force a mistake, Jackson often gets the call. He's athletic, competitive and not afraid of contact, making him an invaluable member of CSKA's defense. - See more at: http://www.indycornrows.com/2015/6/...-jackson-drawing-interest-from-indiana-pacers
