The Growth and Rise of Rookie Josh Jackson

Josh Jackson was considered by some to be a raw prospect coming into the league and over the first couple of months showed some growing pains. Entering the league at just 20 years old, Jackson admitted that at times he was frustrated.

“A little bit here and there, of course,” Jackson said. “I feel that’s natural as a rookie, coming in and having early struggles, but I felt I kept a strong head, stayed strong minded and I stayed working hard.”

Like most NBA athletes, Jackson was always one of the most talented players on the court growing up.
