One of the more interesting players on this year’s Detroit Pistons squad is former No. 4 overall pick Josh Jackson. He came to Detroit last offseason as one of Troy Weaver’s “reclamation projects” and immediately caught the fan base’s attention with his play to start the season. An ankle injury slowed down the hype train, and when he returned the up and down season returned by the highs were never quite as high as earlier in the year.
Coming into this season, it was unclear what his role on the roster would be. It was reported that he had improved his decision making, one of the biggest holes in his game (along with outside shooting), and if true it would go a long way toward cementing his status in a rotation.
