Luke Jackson appreciation thread..

It's easier to have confidence when your team is up 10-20 points. You are more care-free about mistakes and are more assertive in decision making. When a game is close, you get more nervous about mistakes and lose that confidence because of fear of screwing up. This is a rookie/inexperienced player's main characteristic.

I am proud of Luke's performance, this is what we can expect if he can carry this confidence in a tighter game situation. Being the 8th man is much different to him from his Oregon days, where he was the #1 man... His performance in the college level was superb. That's why I believe we'd regret it if we ever trade him, because he's going to blossom, it just takes time to gain confidence...

Luke might be getting some major minutes against the Bulls.....Hughes is questionable and didn't make the trip(family reasons).
