For many Sacramento Kings fans, Justin “JJ” Jackson is an unfortunate stop-gap and one of the very few options available to play small forward until Sacramento inevitably upgrades their weakest position. Jackson splits time with Bogdan Bogdanovic and Iman Shumpert at the three, both of whom are playing out of their natural position when they fill in at small forward.
This leaves Jackson as the only true wing on the roster, and this usually leaves us with a headache. While Jackson struggles at times on both ends of the floor, he averages just seven points in 21 minutes per game, JJ has turned things around over the last three games, providing big shots and solid play when the Kings have needed it the most.
