49 Days To Tipoff: This Is Tadric Jackson’s Year
Josh Pastner does not keep a large rotation. If he thinks you are the best option, you are going to be playing a lot. Four players last season played over 30 minutes a game (Ben Lammers, Josh Okogie, Quinton Stephens, and Josh Heath). Surprisingly, Tech’s second best shot creator and one of the most talented players on the team, Tadric Jackson, only played 23.8 minutes per game last season. I don’t know if it was endurance issues or if he found himself in Pastner’s doghouse, but I would constantly find myself wondering why Tadric was not in the game. This year, with a very shallow team, I expect Jackson to take a much bigger role on the team next season and succeed at it.
