The Indiana Pacers needed to find a third point guard to play behind Tyrese Haliburton and T.J. McConnell next season. But with their decision to convert Quenton Jackson's deal to a standard one, it seems like they had their answer. All they needed to know was if they could trust him. And right now, it's looking like they can.
This season has far and away been Jackson's best at the NBA level. Through 32 games, including 10 starts, the Texas A&M alum has averaged 9 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists while shooting 48% from the field and 40% from beyond the arc in 17.
