<div class="quote_poster">Quoting aaronr:</div><div class="quote_post">Karma, I must admit to not having kept up with Steven Jackson since he left the Nets a few years back, but my recollection is that he was a bit of a head case then and I think I remember that he got benched earlier this season in Atlanta for "conduct detremental to the team" or something like that. That concern aside, I never think of him as a particularly good shooter, though anything is better than Williams and Newble. I have an open mind on the proposition though if, as you say, he's a good defensive player. Aren't you worried that he might not be quite the right chemical agent? Where did you get the info that he can play defense and has a decent floor game? Interested but still skeptical.</div> Hasn't seen much of him in Atlanta (does anyone), but am taking this from his time with San Antonio. He played off Parker and Duncan well, as he could off Z and James. He played solid defense, and combined with Bowen, the Spurs had the best perimeter defense. Has good range and his shooting has improved, especially since his Nets days. He is still quite young and I see him as a decent fit as he has the attributes of what we need at small forward (defense and range). He is a little bit of a head case, but he is maturing.
Personally, I would be happy with SJAX, but I don't see it taking place. I don't think he will be the one demanding money, I think teams will be baiting him with the money.
We play Jackson tomorrow, so lets get in his ear about coming here/ LOL KJ, do you not like him as a player, or you dont mind him, but dont think he is a realistic option?
