Isaiah Jackson started slowly as the Indiana Pacers' new starting center, but he's beginning to turn in impressive performances on a consistent basis.
In his first five games, the Michigan native averaged 4.8 points on 45.5% shooting from the field, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.4 fouls. However, he stepped up in a major way in his next two games, averaging 15.5 points on 58.8% shooting, 9 rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block.
At less than $8 million per season, Jackson could soon be the bargain player the Pacers need entering the 2026 NBA Trade Deadline and the offseason.
