LA Clippers Guard: Reggie Jackson
Reggie Jackson is the definition of a hot and cold player. There are nights that he’s on and looks like a premier scorer. For every one of those nights though, there’s one that leaves you scratching your head.
In reality, Reggie is somewhere in the middle. He has found a place with the starting lineup in Beverley’s absence, starting in 28 games for the LA Clippers this season. He has been statistically solid, shooting a career-high 40.9% from deep on 3.7 attempts per game. He’s had four games where he scored 20 or more points and has been in double-digits in 22 of his 48 appearances.
Is that enough for him to stay in the rotation? It’s tough to say.
Reggie has been better than a lot of us expected this season even when handed a larger role. When the team gets healthy though, I don’t know if there’s a place for him. If Beverley and Rondo are getting the majority of the minutes at point guard, is it worth having Reggie as a second guard on the court? Does he do enough where you want to risk him having the ball in his hands instead of one of those two or the superstars?
I will say I don’t think Reggie has done anything to lose minutes but regardless, could be one of the ones that drop out of the rotation.
