Durden and Van Exel!

There you go! Now we have a Bearcat all-star team

But, I'd categorize SK closer to Burton than LaZelle. 'Zelle was all about the trey where Burton had a bit more complete of an offensive game (as SK does).

Back to Jackson, the best comparison I can come up with is a freshman/sophomore Mel Levett - high motor, extraordinary leaping ability, but not a tremendous basketball IQ.

As much as I love Jackson's effort, I bet if you did a +/- stat like they do in hockey for Thursday's game, Jackson would come up at least -20.

His mistakes certainly outweigh his positives at this point. If he commits to learning he could be very good.

I just like saying "Durden" more than "Burton".

Plus nicknames don't get much better than "The Gunslinger"
