Pierre Jackson Has Finally Gotten His Shot At The NBA

Pierre Jackson’s journey to the NBA has been littered with obstacles. Here’s an overview of his story and his game.

Pierre Jackson has certainly had a tough road to the NBA. After spending two years at a community college, Jackson transferred to Baylor for his final two seasons. At Baylor, he averaged 16.7 points and 6.5 assists per game and spearheaded teams consisting of five future NBA players - Quincy Acy, Cory Jefferson, Perry Jones, Quincy Miller, and Taurean Prince.
