DubbK is gonna be pissed after he reads this post.

Look! It’s when Luke Jackson was actually a decent basketball player.
What do you mean that was like four years ago? What do you mean he’s been on 6 different NBA teams (including a D-League team and the Blazers) in only 3 years of play? What do you mean he’s already been waived by 3 different teams? Are you telling me Luke Jackson sucks?
Yes I am.
I’m not completely down on Luke Jackson getting the 15th and final roster spot for the Blazers (I sort of am.) I’m just realistic. There’s a reason why Luke Jackson is well on his way to becoming the new Dan Dickau. It’s obvious by just looking at the facts. Jackson does not have the chops to cut it in the NBA. Sure, he was picked 10th in the 2004 draft, but he has not done much to prove to NBA teams why the Cavs. picked him so high.
I might go to the University of Oregon, but I’m no homer. I only support real talent. Luke Jackson to me does not have that talent despite once being a stellar Duck. Sure, he’s had a few (like 3) “break-out” games but those were all in throw-away, let’s-get-to-the-post-season-with-no-injuries-to-our-star-players-games.
Maybe he’ll prove me completely wrong. Maybe this is the year Luke Jackson breaks out his shell and proves all his haters wrong. Or maybe the Blazers only pick him up for the pre-season games and we’ll never see him in a Blazers jersey again. Time will tell.
Steven Hill or Luke? I’d take Luke
If you can’t see that Jackson is an excellant round ball player, you should switch from basketball analysis to ping pong.
Yeah. His DNP against the Kings and 6 points in almost 38 minutes of play against the Jazz were really impressive performances.
You can say that he’s a good basketball player sure, but he is not of NBA caliber.
