It might be time for another “Get To Know Your New San Antonio Spurs” series article…

Dude was born five days before my 16th birthday.

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say

To serve man.

These are Curtis Jerrels stats for the 2009-10 D-League
PPG19.6
RPG4.60
APG5.6
EFF+ 19.00
Born: Feb 5, 1987
Height: 6-1 / 1,85
Weight: 195 lbs. / 88,5 kg.
So it looks like Jackson has some height on Jerrels and better assist numbers, but fewer points per game.

You forgot that he’s a year older. That’s his “in” with Pop.

Maybe it was his NBA experience? 5 games with the Cavs this season. Didn’t do anything.

Hate to toot my own horn

But just finished my write-up on Jackson to the Spurs.

I blog at Ridiculous Upside. I know you'll love it.

Thanks for the info. I was not familiar with Jackson at all.

by CapHill on Mar 8, 2010 6:01 PM CST up reply actions

Definitely not one of the names of the D-League

But basically he’ll be great on defense and okay on offense as long as he doesn’t try to do too much.

Defense. I love that word.

No worries there. He won’t be allowed to do too much. Pop wouldn’t hear of it.

That’s for the head’s up. This is good intel, and it’s much appreciated, especially the video of him in action.

Slash and kick guy with some quickness and the ability to finish some around the rim — and defensive chops. Sounds good. I predict he’ll be in Pop’s doghouse before he even hits the court: did you see his headband?
