Off the Court: Pelicans guard Frank Jackson

There is an NBA team in Utah, but few professional basketball players hail from that state in the Mountain time zone. That makes New Orleans reserve guard Frank Jackson a bit of a rarity, having attended high school at Lone Peak in Highland, Utah, before playing one season of college basketball at Duke. The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder discussed with Pelicans.com how his favorite musical artist of all time coincidentally shares the same surname; Jackson also once sported a uniform number of the court that was a reference to one of the biggest acts of the late 1970s. Of course, Jackson does not remember that decade at all, having been born in 1988.
