Simple thread, sorry.  He has been playing very well as of late. I think he can keep improving. Thoughts on his play?

I think he can be a good starter in the league but he will never be a star. Maybe one or two all star games if he goes to the East and a few point guards get hurt. The PG position is just to stacked….

 I respectfully disagree.  I think he can be a star if he goes to a team where he has an increased role, ala Harden.  OKC belongs to KD, Russ, and Ibaka.  I am not sure how Jackson fits in their future plans.  I have been singing his praises for years.  He is really improving each year…and he is very unique physically because of his athleticism and 7′ wingspan.

by the time Perkins is off the books, they’ll have enough to retain him, but Jackson will command more money if he keeps playing like this. the thunder definitely won’t be able to retain him. at the rate he’s going, teams will view him as a potential answer to their point-guard-of-the-future problems. some team out there is going to over-value the crap out of him. it’s happened to many guys with less promise, and the thunder will most likely have to sign and trade him if they can’t work out a deal before next year like Harden all over again. 

I blame Presti. He’s damn good at finding players that fit his system perfectly and developing the necessary skills to be a very good contributor.

It will probably end up the same as the Harden situation.  In a strange way I think Harden’s breakout to super star after the trade will help Reggie’s trade value.  Reggie was actually playing even better off the bench before Westbrook got hurt so his value could only go up once Westbrook comes back.
