Ian Jackson is getting another opportunity to orchestrate things for the St. John’s basketball team on Saturday against Iona.
Rick Pitino announced the news on Thursday afternoon that the former North Carolina guard will be the starting point guard for the Red Storm based on his improvement in practice and putting more of a focus on defense and rebounding rather than scoring.
“Like [Daniss Jenkins], we have worked diligently to improve his assists, turnovers, rebounding, and him and Joson [Sanon] have improved immensely,” Pitino said.
Jackson has significantly cut down on his turnovers in practice from nearly six to two.
