The theme in Oklahoma may be that Jackson is a disappointment or isnt living up to expectations or is some sort of horrible defender but those theories arent supported by the numbers and seriously I dont know anyone who expected Jackson to do more than he is doing now.

In 12 games since Westbrook went down, he is averaging almost to the 100th of a point the same he did in the prior 12 with Westbrook, despite playing more. How is that not a disappointment? His assists are up about 1 a game despite handling the ball a lot more and playing more.
All I was saying was that if the guy stepped in a put up numbers as a starter at the same rate per minute that he did off the bench, he would have made himself a ton of money. But he isn't doing it, thus he saved the Thunder some cash if they want to keep him...simple as that.
