A video summary of Josh Jackson's first six games.

The most pleasure I get is watching his Brandon Rush impersonation on defense.

@wrwlumpy Good stuff bye the young fella
-
Anyone else notice the “MENACE” he has worn on his socks every game? No one else has it.
-
@RockChalkinTexas Nope, Good eye.

Nice pix. JJ puttin’ it on those prettyboys from UNC-Ash…
-
…also completely agree with the Brandon Rush defense impersonation. While Rush was a better 3gunner, JJ has better handles, and sees the floor as well as 19yr old LBJ. Great things in the future for JJ in this sport.

Josh is a freak. I can’t recall any freshman at Kansas that has ever showed more in the first few games as a Jayhawk!
And he hustles for a youthful player, too. But I would like to meet him in the video room and show him some Kevin Young tape. There is still another gear or two left in Josh. He’s not done establishing who he is yet. Imagine him “motored up” to Kevin Young hustle? That would make him the most-dominant player in all of D1… by a landslide!
I can see this happening. For as good as he looks now, you know there is some “confidence room” left in his game, where he will gain even more confidence and with more confidence it means turning up the pressure.

It would be great if Josh could crank it up another notch, but he also needs to cut down on fouls so he can stay on the court. I think he can do both, but it will take more system familiarity. Once he figures out how to help defend 2-3 passes away our team will be scary on the defensive end.
-
He is already aware of his fouls. In an after game interview he indicated that the was aware that his silly fouls were costing him valuable playing time and he has been doing a lot better lately. He seems to be a quick learner.
