Former Aggie, Quenton Jackson, has career night against the Houston Rockets
Now that the G-League has concluded, a number of two-way players are getting some runtime on their respective NBA teams. Quenton Jackson is one of those players and is making the best of his opportunity. Last month while playing in a G-League game, Jackson put everyone on notice that he could put up buckets almost at will and dish out the ball to his playmakers.
On Sunday night, Jackson had a productive game against the Houston Rockets where he scored a career-high in points with 19 and a career-high in assists with five. He also did it in style slamming in a few dunks off ally-oops. The Washington Wizards look to have found a solid contributor for the duration of the contract and Jackson has the ability to carve out a role for a long career in Pro basketball.
Quenton Jackson, just like at Texas A&M, is a highlight reel waiting to happen. Below are some highlights and photos from his career night.
