Demetrius Jackson is never going to be a star in the NBA, but he’s almost a lock to be a solid, accountable backup point guard, and that’s worth a lot in today’s NBA.
You could make the argument that the point guard position is the deepest position in the league, and that means that even second units are running out guards that can compete at a starter’s level. Having a guy you can count on behind Mudiay — a guy who might even be able to play with Mudiay, allowing him to play off ball — would be a huge asset.
Jackson is an extremely intelligent point guard, and his court vision and decision making can make up for his deficiencies as a pure scorer; he’s a guy who could complement Mudiay early and grow with him through the years.
