As you know, I'm a big believer in measuring players statistically, but I do believe Jackson gives teams things that aren't easily measured. When he wants to be, he's a very smart, tough basketball player that provides excellent perimeter D. I still don't know why Pop felt he had to challenge him in the way he did by asking him to admit Leonard/Green were better. I don't get the point of it.
