Here’s Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers on how Andre Jackson Jr. performed in a starting role during Thursday’s 123-100 home win vs. the Utah Jazz (7 points/3 rebounds/4 assists/4 steals/zero turnovers/3-4 FG/1-1 3-PT/+19 +/-).
(via Milwaukee Bucks):
“Exactly what we wanted from him. He made plays. He was athletic. Defensively, I thought he pitched a shutout almost on everybody he guarded. So, got his hands on things, got a couple offensive rebounds, ran the floor a couple times. It’s so funny, even though he didn’t get the ball, I kept telling him, ‘With your speed, if you sprint down the middle of the floor, someone has to take you.’ A couple times it was a guard, a couple times it was a big, and it led to us getting threes. So, he literally did everything we asked him to do.”
