Stephen Jackson missed the last five games of the season with that hamstring strain. You know what the Charlotte Bobcats' field-goal percentage was in those games?

50.7 percent.

When Jackson is on - that night in Atlanta was spectacular - he's one of the 20 best players in the league. But as the last five games of the season illustrated (and, granted, they were 2-3 in those games) the ball movement was notably better in his absence.

Nobody forced shots, nobody held the ball - 50.7 percent is not an insignificant number.

I hope Jackson saw this, because at 33 he should adjust

At 33 he should be on his way to a playoff team for picks or young prospects.

Jax seemed to settle for a lot of long jump shots to close out his season but I'm hoping that it was more the nagging injuries that kept him from working the post as well as we know he can.

I think a fit and healthy Jax with a coach that supports him and the team heading into next season is going to be a great thing.

I would like to see him get his FGA's down per game to around the 12 mark though (allowing more shots for DJA and Hendo).
