Jackson performs well from bench
http://www.indystar.com/articles/7/229311-7987-179.html
Quote:
In one week, Indiana Pacers forward Stephen Jackson has gone from the team's primary scoring option to being the primary scoring option -- off the bench.
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle likes the dividends the switch has brought.
"I think we'll stick with it," Carlisle said. "We've gotten off to good starts the last two games. We'll keep evaluating things. The way our season has gone, anything can change."
Jackson, initially benched for missing a shootaround, has come off the bench before. He split time between starting and being a reserve with the San Antonio Spurs during the 2002-03 season.
"It's a different role, but at the same time, you're still playing basketball," he said. "I've been a starter and someone that has come off the bench my whole career."
Jackson, who has started 29 of 31 games this season, said a difference between the two is that by starting he gets into the flow earlier.
"Sitting on the bench you have to stay into the game and make sure you know what's going on until it's time to go in," he said.

What do you guys think about this? It could work out for the rest of the season I guess.....It doesnt hurt

Re: Jackson performs well from bench
Well, that's where he was supposed to be at the start of the season. James Jones should do okay with the confidence that he's a starter, and Jax will definately bring some energy off the bench.

Re: Jackson performs well from bench
Well, while Sjax is clearly better than JJ, I really don't have any problem with this. JJ is getting some needed minutes so that he can continue to grow, and sjax will be giving us a good second wind if our starters are struggling.

Re: Jackson performs well from bench
Definately agree, James Jones will probably be able to perform better from the starting lineup, and S Jax will be an instant spark off the bench.

Re: Jackson performs well from bench
It will be interesting, but we need some scoring punch from our bench. It has lacked lately, but as long as the best people are on the floor the most, that is what counts.

Re: Jackson performs well from bench
I like Jackson starting better, but I haven't really seen the games when he has come off the bench.

Re: Jackson performs well from bench
Well, he still plays a lot of minutes. I think the distinction of whether you actually start the game is overrated.

Re: Jackson performs well from bench
Well I think Stephen Jackson performs better with cornrows rather than dreads  . Nah SJax is a good player too bad he likes to come off the bench. |

For a 2nd year 2nd round draft pick that was getting worse than 3rd stringer minutes last year, starting is very important to his confidence level. Very smart move by Carlisle. |

Re: Jackson performs well from bench
This kind of reminds me about the Jalen Rose situation in Toronto.
He didn't want to come off the bench, but he was playing more than most of the starters anyways so he didn't mind, and he got his spot back on the starting lineup.
As Lucky already pointed out, starting is overrated.

He demanded a trade because he was our 6th man, even though he was averaging 30mpg.
