Charlotte Transfer Dishon Jackson commits to the Cyclones!

[NY Chicago Fan]

Clingan average 13 minutes for UConn his freshman year, only in the 20s this year.

Part of that was he was behind their second best player and got winded fast.

But for Rock, agree 15 min behind Jackson 25 min is probably max unless he really surprises.

Omaha seems to be not big enough for a 5, slot him at 3/4 spot with Watson ahead of him today. His mins in Big12 tourney did not show me anything to know what his skill is other than looking athletic. So he's totally unpredictable.

His hands have been a liability all year. Until he gets that figured out there isn't a position for him.

@Cytown12 do you even bother watching the games?

I hope Jackson plays hard as Jones. Some fans are really underestimating the impact of losing Jones. He is the heart and soul of our defense. He is a big man who is also good perimeter defender.

Agree. Jones and Ward will be difficult to replace.

Not just the effort Jones brings, but he’s an extremely competent defender. Rebounds well. And is legitimately good/efficient on offense near the bucket- good feet, hands, and touch

He can’t stretch the defense or drive, but he did everything we need well

I just wanted to agree with your post. Jones and Ward have been fantastic on def during our last run of great play. Neither one seems to have a big ego about sharing minutes. Both hustle and play their role extremely well. They both bought in 100%. I can only hope that Jackson buys in at the level of Jones and Ward.

I honestly don't know where Omaha fits. He probably has a quicker route at playing at developing being a Tre King or Hason Ward and being a post player but if the NBA is the goal he needs to develop some perimeter skills

If you go look at his hs games he played a lot on perimeter and the guy can shoot.

I'm no NBA scout but I can't imagine him aiming for anything but a 3 spot. And yes we will certainly take that. 30%+ from downtown please with his quickness and ability to jump out of the gym?

It will be difficult to be better at what they bring, but perhaps we can be different
