Even when the Indiana Pacers re-signed him in the offseason, many fans believed that Quenton Jackson was too good to be on a two-way contract. Now, it seems like a no-brainer for the Pacers to convert his contract to a standard one, especially given their uncertainties at the point guard position.
The California native missed the Pacers' first two games of the season due to a hamstring injury. However, he has immediately taken on a starting role due to injuries to Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, and T.J. McConnell. And he has thrived so far.
In Jackson's first two games as a starter this season, he averaged 20 points on 58.
