    There aren't many highlight vids as this is his first year playing D1 ball, but the guy has been incredible for Baylor this year.

    I may be biased, but I think he can play at the next level. His speed and quickness are absolutely ridiculous. While he's only about 5'10, his vertical helps him play much bigger than he actually is.

    What do you guys think?

    If a guy like Johnny Flynn can "play" in the NBA, then I'm sure Pierre Jackson can play as well.

    I would love to see Jackson play in the NBA, but I just don't see it happening. I don't mean to take anything away from his abilities though. I just think his size will prevent him from getting a shot.

    Look at former BU pg Tweety Carter. He was only about 5'11" and never made the impact in the NBA that he could have based on his talent. Had to be his size that limited him.

    Hoping for the best though!

    ^The difference is that Pierre has mad hops. He also doesn't shy away from taking the big shot.
