Baylor men’s basketball alumnus and current Dallas Maverick Pierre Jackson logged his first points in the NBA on Dec. 27, 2016, against the Houston Rockets.
It was Jackson’s first game with Dallas, and head coach Rick Carlisle lauded his skill within the team’s offense.
“I like his quickness, and I like his ability to score,” Carlisle told Mavs.com. “He made a couple of good plays off pick-and-rolls, so I think he’s a guy that can help us a bit. And look, it’s the first day I’ve ever really seen him play in person, but I like what I saw.
