Detroit Pistons: 2018-19 player grades for Reggie Jackson

Highlights

In Game 4 of the first round against Milwaukee, the Pistons were scrapping to stay alive in the playoffs. Right before halftime, Jackson cut towards the basket and slammed home the putback. The home crowd was loving it, and, for a second, we saw a glimpse of the Reggie that once was.

Andre Drummond got the caption on this next one against the Atlanta Hawks, but Jackson had arguably his best game of the season. He finished 12-of-22 for 32 points, and he was a great facilitator with a team-high eight assists on the night. This is the Jackson that fans are looking to see on a nightly basis, and he’s the one that gets the fans up out their seats when he slices through the defense with a finger roll at the rim.

Jackson doesn’t have the speed to blow by most bigs when he gets the switch, but he definitely didn’t let that stop him when Defensive Player of the Year candidate Myles Turner switched onto him.

He went work crossing him up before he hit the step-back 3-point shot. If you watched these highlights, you’d be oohing and aahing all the way to an A+ grade for Jackson. So, what did he end up with this year?
