Jackson has also been a positive on defense. Memphis is giving up 4.9 fewer points per 100 possessions when he’s on the court. He’s an energetic, athletic defender capable of switching and chasing opposing players. He showed flashes on that end of the court in Phoenix, but he’s beginning to put it together in Memphis. “I feel like I’m quite versatile,” Jackson said. “I can guard multiple positions. I’m not really great at any one thing, but I’m pretty good at about everything, if you know what I mean. Wherever you put me, I’m going to find something I can do, whether that’s rebounding, playing defense, just making an occasional open 3 or passing it. I’m going to figure out some way to impact the game.”
