Since his return from injury, Reggie Jackson has been performing like his former self. His shot making ability blends perfectly with his ability to direct traffic. He’s been providing the Detroit Pistons with a spark whenever he takes the floor.
He’s currently on a restriction of around 22 minutes per game, so he’s better utilized coming off of the bench like he was tonight. There’s something painfully poetic about both of Detroit’s point guards being on minute restrictions. Symbolic of how they’ve constructed their roster.
Jackson operates tremendously in pick and rolls. His coveted mid-range floater was on display, and by halftime he had already scored 17 points.
